Yard Display tractors

Hello everyone
New to this site and would appreciate any help or information anyone can supply.
I have 2 old MF-35 tractor I would like to display in my yard. Neither run and tires are in poor condition. What is the best way to keep the tires looking inflated without spending a lot? Having them foam filled like forklift tires would cost to much. Wondering if anyone knows of a DIY foam filling. They would only need to be filled up half way. I think if the bottom half of the tire is full of something the top half would still look good. Just don t want the flat tire look. Even thought about concrete, just need to figure how to get in in the tire.
Thanks
Bill
 
Welcome, hope you enjoy it here.

If it's never going to run or move again, consider just using a steel post inside just inside the rim, and set the axle on a notch in the post. I've done that with some old drill stem. If it ever needs to move, just lift it off the post pipe. You could even have the tires inflated, and set it in place, then deflate the tires to let it settle on to the post under axle.
 
Can you jack it up, drill a hole near the bottom of the tire, just big enough for the tube on a can of expandable
foam then put a can or two in each tire? Leave it up until the roam hardens then let the jack down.
 
Set it up on sturdy wooden blocks just like if you were working on it. That way if kids play on it or livestock rub against it the tractor will not fall. Let is sit like that in the sun for several months then look at it from the road to decide if you need to invest the money for tire foam or not. It might look great as-is.
