Make sure you have a tube in the tire, my MF 240 has loaded tires. When I picked up a nail, to my pleasant surprise , no tube, just put a plug in it, over 3 years ago still no leaks. Dave

ok,after reading your post djw I got an ideal to plug it.I turned the tire to where the holes where at the bottom.I pulled the wire out and plugged it.Hoping that the water pressure keeps the tube tight against the tire so I plug both tube and tire.Seems like it worked and hopefully will hold til I get repaired.I need to get some hay donwn.The prob with not having a tube and flid here is the calcium chloride(or whatever it is) would eat the rim up.

Yep you can do it your self. I have been doing them for years. Drop me an e-mail and I'll send you a page from a 1935 owners manual that tells how to fill the tire with fluid. If you do it back wards you can also empty a tire.

Toughest thing about changing a tractor rear tire is breaking the bead loose from the rim. If a bead breaking tool is available, the tire can be removed from the rim without removing the rim from the wheel. Either way, the fluid must be removed from the tire. Block wheel on opposite side of tractor. Jack up side with tire to be removed .Turn wheel until valve is at top and remove valve stem and attach adapter to valve and a garden hose going into a barrel.Rotate wheel to put valve stem at bottom. Fluid will flow into barrel.You may need to add some air pressure into the tire occasionally to get it to flow faster by blowing air into the drain hose with a blow gun. You could attach the drain hose to a PTO sprayer pump and pump the fluid out also. (You will need the pump to return the fluid into the tire after tire and tube are repaired.) Now the fun, wrestling the tire from the rim. I remove rim and tire from tractor , lay it on ground and break bead by pressing down on side of tire with a front loader bucket or using a piece of oak 2x10 layed up on side of tire and back another tractor rear wheel up the board ramp until the bead breaks loose. Flip the tire over and do other side. Using pry bars, work tire from rim, remove tube, repair or replace with new, reinstall tire on rim, reinstall rim to wheel, pump fluid back into tire, pressurize tire as necessary. I did one yesterday just like this. An 18.4/38.
