Tire loading by and for cheapskates

I put the calcium back in the tire, the pictures tell the whole story. I had a piece of rubber hose off an old paint gun setup and the hose was the right size to slip into the valve hole. I drilled a hole in the side of the 5 gallon bucket that was slightly smaller than the hose so I could just stuff it in and it didn't leak. It took about 4 minutes per gallon to drain in as far as I could figure. Only cost was $89 for a new tube.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Been tempted more than once to try something like that myself.

I have filled tires in many ways. One time I took and old tire full of fluid aired it up real good and hooked a hose from it to the one I wanted to fill then raised it up above to one I was filling with a chain hoist and that worked well. I have also used simple drill pump to do the job. The page I send people form an old as in 1935 owners manual has I think 4 ways to do it and they are all one the low dollar type set up since back in the 30s money was tighter then it is now

Welcome to the land of cheapskates, or as we call Ky engenering. That is how I did it on my first tractor in 1961, that's how I filled the the tire last week. We've come a long way in 50 years ain't we. LOL

Nice to have a 2nd floor to use. I use a mostly plastic sump pump and a TSC tire adapter to pump it in.
