I fill through the valves too, little hand transfer pump with the fill kit from tractor supply, it comes with the "burp" valve that you have to do every so often.

I used a drill pump made by Wayne. Someone said something about hooking the gal jug up to a hose and poking a hole in the bottom and blowing air into the jug. I'm not quite sure how they hooked a hose onto the jug, but I like that idea, sounds fast.

I use a drill powered pump that i got at the local hardware store.





This adapter fits the valve stem, the other end hooks to the garden hose.



I fill a 5 gallon bucket with the windshield washer fluid and have a hose from it the the pump. From the other side of the pump to the tire.

I have loaded 6 pair this way.
I put the valve stem at 12:00 oclock and keep filling till its just starting to come out. that leaves a little air space at the top for cushion.

Some say windshield washer fluid, others say RV antifreeze. What if you mixed the two?

Duke, Does the Dawn change the freeze temp? I live in Southern KY and my cubs are always in a heated garage so Im thinking some part "something" and water solution would work fine. The BRS has beet juice but the 2072 doesnt have anything and I was thinking of adding something to my garden tiller also.

It doesn't allow the water to freeze. I don't know exactly how but it works for me. Beet juice is top of the line fill as it has a higher weight then anything else.

I'd love to get ahold of some rimguard (beet juice) water is around 9lb/gal and rimguard is about 11.5lb/gal but the nearest dealer is like 250 miles from po-dank wv.

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.
