Well since water weights 8lbs per gallon you are about a gallon off. Shouldn't be too much of a problem to fix.

George I think one tire is about 90% but the repaired one sloshes a lot and my guess would put it at 75% based on what the tire shop put back in it

Adam I agree one gallon would do it. The problem now is how without making a big mess and losing more rim guard

Tractor supply has a pump that attaches to your drill for @ $8, and back in the tire accessories section they should have a valve stem attachment that will you to attach a hose from the pump. I have both of these, but have yet to use them. With the valve stem on the tire up at the 12 o'clock position you would pump in the last gallon of fluid.

Heres a little update. I bought the tools DWayne suggested and topped the tires off with water.
1) The fill valve works awesome!
2) Rimguard tastes awful YUK!
3) Now one tire weighs 165lb and the other weighs 163lbs I think 2lbs is close enough.

Whats the thoughts on filling front tires? Anyone got theirs filled?

They do fill the fronts on the supers but you've got lots more weight then they do.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
