I have been working today on filling my tires, The Gylecol is in steel 55 gal drums run a line to the drum with regulator. line to tire minus valve stem, load barrell with 10 PSI.. BARREL GETS SCAREY BIG RIGHT NOW:Stop:
Ok everything seems to be holding.. filling tire and stopping every ten minutes to bleed off air.
BUT I DID GO IN HOUSE WHILE I AM FILLING.. Just incase barrel goes to ****. Don't want to be too close>>>>:fing32:
got to go check now...

Ummm, I've handled a lot of drums and if yours is showing any signs of bulging / deformation , I'd find another way, just about any other way, other than pressurizing it to 10 PSI..... even if that meant gravity feed and it taking all day, and even a night to load a tire..

Ever have a bung fly past your head when taking it off a heat pressurized drum? I have, and it's downright scary , but now I know better. Some bigger forces you are working with there- be careful.

got one tire done about a half hour ago,, working on the other.
The first tire is about 3/4 full. I would think that would be about all you should do, or the tire won't have enough air to compress? I know it's heavy.

I have got a set of Chains for the rear tires and they are on also.. with 20-24 gals of fluid and chains in each tire we should be ready to GET IT ON this winter.. LOl

Take wheel off tractor.
lay it on its side.
Push tire in off rim.
Pour in Gylecol.
Put hold-down strap around tire and tighten it up.
Put in air.

I would have but I would think that 1945 rims would have tubes? Did they have tubeless tires then?

the safe way is how I fill my 316 JD tires.. :drunkie:

Well I got both tire about 3/4 full, about 40-50 gallon total , what a mess and time consuming.. but it is done. tire chains and weight, I am ready for winter now.:greendr:

 

[marlboro180]

Glad you got it done. That will help a lot to have some loaded tires.

I took the loaded tires off an 8N in the past- Heavy

We got a pump from an Ag tire shop that needed repair, fixed it , and now were just like the big boys. This was a necessity for us as we have 30 antique tractors, most are calcium loaded. If you have many to do it can pay for a pump in a hurry.

LOL I AM SO STUPID... LOL That is funny stuff,, that's the same pump I used to pump it out of the darn 500 gallon barrel at work, in to the 55 gallon drums. I never thought about it...

Here is some info on using these pumps. http://www.gemplers.com/tech/liquid-ballast.htm

If you have a pump you also need the adapters for the tire valve. http://www.gemplers.com/liquid-ballast

Miller tire used to carry the liquid ballast adapters ,but I don't see them on their web site.

Thanks I saved those pages, This is the kind of stuff that I needed, i guess I should have asked.

Most of the time I google things I want to do, then think about all the info I have seen then I do it,, Rebuilt 2 houses that way,

During the economy colapse I sold my orignial house (dirt cheap lost some money) bought and rebuilt 2 houses, and kepth the third, after I rebuilt it. now I live on five acres with no payment,, PAID FOR!!! TWO BIG WORDS,, any how so I get a little jump happy some times... I think I know something when I don't.. Lol
Thanks again good info..:trink39:

I just loaded my tires on my 49 8n a couple of weeks ago. I hooked a short pice of garden hose to a funel and screwed it to the addaptor. I put 32 gallons of washer fluid in each tire. It only took me about 1 1/2 hours per tire.

I have used a ,in tank,, fuel pump from a auto before, it works great. To know when to release the pressure just listen for the pump to strain or change sound.
