Go to the John Deere board and read the post
"filling rear tires," its #3 right now. To long
to type again.me tell you how I did it on a MF 35 this spring.
First you go to www.Gemplers.com and order Item no.
AQF1 Quick fill tractor tire Attachment.$13.95.
Next you get two plastic 55 gallon Barrels with the
caps you can screw a pipe fitting in. In one cap
you put a fitting with a valve in it that you can
screw a garden hose to. In the other,you put a
valve stem like the type found in water tanks for
pressureizing the tank. Then you take your barrels
and go to the local car dealer and ask if he has any
used antifreeze you can haul away for him. He has
to pay to have it hauled away if you don't take it
Usually they wind up with oil floating on top of
the antifreeze. so if he has a pump to pump it
into your barrels, you can stop before you get any
oil. It takes about two barrels for 12.4x28 tires
Then you take it home, and leave it right on the
truck. Jack up one wheel of the tractor let the
air out and remove the tractor tire core housing.
with the valve stem at the top, attach the adapter
you got from Gemplers, and hook a hose to it. I
use a washing machine hose. Install the barrel
plugs in the barrel with the fittings on them.
Then lay the barrel down on its side with the plug
with the valve on the bottom. Barrel still on the
truck.hook the hose to the barrel, and open the
valve. If you put pressure to the barrel,no more
than MAXIMUM OF 10 POUNDS did I say MAX 10 pounds.
It took about 20 minutes to transfer the anti-
freeze into the tire. When it starts to squirt out
the adapter, its full, shut off the valve,
remove the hose and adapter and reinstall the
tractor tire core housing still leaking isn't it
you should have put the valve core back in the
housing while you were waiting for the tire to
fill. Don't ask how I know.Next step is to inflate
the tire to 12 lbs. Then do the other one.

will tell you how much your tire holds. Good Luck
Oh, Don't get that $8.25 Adapter from Napa. Its
to slow. Maybe that copy &paste stuff will work.
