papaglide,
I roll the tire around till the valve stem is at 12:00. Remove the valve core and hook the adapter up and start filling.

I fill mine just till the fluid is at the valve stem with it at 12:00 That leaves a little air space at the top to still allow the tire to flex and cushion the ride.

Thats whats nice about the air release button on the adapter. You just shut off your pump and push the air release. A steady stream of fluid will come out when you get it full to that point. I always have to drain a little back out. I never seem to check it just at the right time.:biggrin2.gif:

This is the way i find works best. I have tried just breaking down one side of the tire and just dump the fluid in, and had trouble with a couple of leaks around the bead. Guess i didnt get it cleaned enough.

Let's not forget why it's best to put your fluid of choice in tubes...

Glad to help papaglide.
I forgot to mention that after filling i run 12 to 15 lbs. air pressure. And like Matt G. said the tubes help avoid any mishaps. I have tubes in one of my tractors, the rest are tubeless. I make sure to check the air pressure every so often to keep them sealed up tight.

Here is another question, is this something I can do to my turf tires and have a noticeable effect? Or should I just wait until I buy ags and fill those?

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.
