I transfered fluid from an old full sized tractor tire to the replacement by using an electric sprayer pump.
Had to stop a couple of times to release the air.

If you use anti-freeze would that keep your rims from rusting? I want to do this to one of my tractors but just not sure what to use, I've also heard windshild wiper solvent. so just what would be the best thing to use?

Mike I use RV anti freeze in my stuff but you can use windshield fluid, Rim Guard, anti freeze with out tubes or Cal if you put tubes in or you will rot the rims. Some guys have said they get used anti freeze at some repair shops cheap and use that.
I lay the tire on it's side valve core up and break the upper bead and just pour it in. I have one that has tubes so I'm going to try the sprayer pump idea, sounds like it should work good.

Beet juice can also be used as an alternative to calcium, it doesn't eat your rims and is biodegradable should you puncture your tire. We started using that at my dad's shop as disposing of old calcium is very expensive.

Well 5 months later I noticed that my 20 year old tires have some seepage :bash2: I will be using tubes from now on.

One of the easiest things I have done on my 2072 with loader.9 gallons of RV antifreeze per tire.Did not use any fittings on valve stem,just rubber hose.

Looks like you are using some type of pump? If so what is it?

It's a simple small pond waterfall pump I had laying around.
