Larry, I'd say ditto for the other's suggestions. Take it to a tire store that mounts Ag tires. BUT, if ya gotta do it at home try this. Buy the calcium chloride from a salt or chemical dealer in your area. It usually comes in 50 # bags. Use a large tub and place on a stand higher than the tire. Fill about 2/3's with water and begin mixing in the calcium chloride. The calcium chloride like salt (sodium chloride) will reach an equilibrium at about 10 -20 percent and will stop dissolving in the water. Take a hose that will fit over the valve stem and sufficiently long to reach from the tub to the tire. Place the valve stem at 12:00, jack up and support the tractor, and let out the air. Siphon out the liquid from the tub into the tire until the flow stops. Remove the hose and allow the air out, then reconnect the hose and allow liquid to flow again. This is about a day long procedure but it will work. Fill only to the top of the rim. Leave some volume for air pressurization and a cushion. Good luck. Ken McWilliams
