Leon, I have done this on several tractors. At your favorite tractor store, there will be an adaptor that connects a garden hose to a shraeder valve. They are cheap. This allows you to get water into the tire. Here is how: Step one is to put the tire's valve at about 10 o'clock, to set the fluid level. Then, let out all the air. Step two is getting the antifreeze in. I cut off the male end of a garden hose and left about 1 ft of hose, attached it to the adapter, then attached the adapter to the tire. Then, I stuck a funnel onto the piece of hose and just poured in the antifreeze. Step three: fill with water until the tractor tire inflates. Now, you will have some water in, and some air. Turn off the water and let out the air until the tire is as flat as it will go, then fill again. Repeat until fluid comes out the valve instead of air. One of those couplers that shuts off the water at the end of the hose helps here, but isn't mandatory. A couple more things: Look on the back of the antifreeze container and see what temperature a 36:3 (12:1) mix of antifreeze will protect you to. I think I remember using about twice that: 6:1 or 5:1 or so, to protect into the mid 20's. This will get expensive. Lastly, be careful with spilled antifreeze. Dogs and cats love it and it will kill them.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
