Ok, I am sure I will be laughed at here, but here is what I did: First, I removed the tire and laid it down flat on the ground, valve stem up. I got the pointed top off of a quart gear oil bottle and Duct-Taped it onto a gallon of anti-freeze. I did this on 2 gals per tire, and SLOWLY poured it in through the valve stem. And I mean it takes a while, and some patience! After that, I got one of those water hose nozzles that makes a sharp stream, and barely turned the water on and filled it through the valve stem. Again, patience is required. Now, don't do like I did and lay the tire down just outside the garage behind your vehicle because you won't be able to move it by yourself! (I got stranded for a while, but that is another story...) Get someone (or someones) to help you and put the tire back on. You will have to jack the lugs to the tire, not lift the tire to the lugs like a car. I did this 3 years ago, and it has been fine here in North Ga. Others here will argue that Calcium Chloride is better, and it is heavier, but I don't farm for a living and the water/AF combo works great for me! And, by the way, I found out later that almost any tractor supply house has an attachment for the hose for filling tractor tires. Anti-freeze will still require patience though. Good Luck!

At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
