With the 850s I filled with washer.fluid and had tubes I took.the valve core out screwed on a old piece.of fuel line and used.a old.fuel.tank.I.had would pressurized the.tank.with my air compressor through a small hole I.drilled in.the.cap. took me maybe 20 minutes for both tires. My tubeless 10.50 s I just broke the valve.stem side of the bead and filled it.with 7 gallons then aired.it back up. Works good.and easy

Down her in Georgia I use H2O only in tubes. Some guys add dish soap to increase the freeze point. I don't think that will work up in good ole PA.

i have one tractor that came with green antifreeze in the tires, and i put in purple washer fluid. i ALWAYS tube my tires when i have them apart and have never had a flat since. i pump the washer fluid in with the cheapest electric fuel pump i could find. i think its a used one off a chevy diesel. its a little slow but works good and isnt messy to do. i got 7 gallons in per side.

on my snow blade rig i have fluid plus 5o lb wheel weights on each side and its barely enough when the snow is wet.

to each their own i guess.

I put innertubes in a set of 10.5x23s got whole shopping cart full of washer fluid at wal mart when it was on sale for 99 cents a gallon.

I took a pump weed sprayer and removed the wand and clamped the hose from it to the valve stem after removeing the shrader valve from the innertube. I simply filled the sprayer and pumped the fluid in with the tire and wheel laying on it's side. 14 GALLONS DID BOTH TIRES,on a bathroom scale they weighed near 50 lbs I threw a wheel weight on the scale and that brought one set to 80 lbs with chains on tire. Did that 4 yrs ago and never any leaks or froze fluid.

I just bought a set of new Deestone 23 x 10.50/12's on eBay from Greater Cleaveland Tire (gregthree) for $121 plus 20 bucks for shipping. He claims they are 6 ply. Is that an ok price or could I have done better. Now gotta sandblast & paint rims, then go fluid shopping. The fun never ends.

Smile E-Z way to fill tires

I removed the hose and wand from my 2 gallon garden sprayer, put a 2' long piece of 5/16 rubber fuel hose over the nipple on the sprayer and slid the other end of the hose over the valve stem after removing the schrader valve. Turn the wheel so the valve stem is positioned at the top. Fill the sprayer with WWF, install the hand pump in the sprayer and give it about 20 pumps. The pressure in the sprayer will force the fluid into the tire. You will have to pump some more to keep the pressure up in the sprayer. When you remove the pump from the sprayer the excess air will bleed out of the tire while you refill the sprayer. I filled 2 23-10.50-12 tires with 12 gallons of WWF in about 30 minutes.

I just filled a set of 26 X 12 x12's with a little pump I had laying around. It's a Flo Jet pump that I used to have on my race car to pump tranny fluid to a cooler. It's 12 volt but I also have a 12 volt power supply. Normally I take the tires to the local tire shop and have them break the bead on the valve stem side as I've mentioned before but I will need to fill a set of tires on my 121 that have tubes so I figured I'd try this pump and see how it did on the big rubber. Had the hoses kind of jury rigged but it went well. Just pulled the valve cores out and slid the 3/8" hose ove the stem and let it rip. I let the air out of the tire after every gal. I may get one of those tire fillers that TSC sells and make up something a little more permanent for the future. Anyway I put 8 gals in each tire probably took 20 mins.

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.
