OK, I've decided to add WWF to my 9n tires and I have a few questions fer you fellers.

1) What is the best way to add the fluid without taking the rim off?

2) For snow, do you recommend 3/4 full?

3) Do I use straight WWF or add water?

4) Do I load the front tires (ribbed) as well?

5) Will the added weight be too much for my 9N?

Thx for the past advice & Thx for the future advice!!

What a great bunch of guys!!!

NO water with the WWF. Also if you send me an e-mail I will send you a page from an owners manual that shows how to fill the tires. One method you can even do in your sleep just set it up and go to bed and the next morning the tire will e full.

My opinion is the fuller the better. Liquid sloches around and the more room you give it the more it shakes your vehicle. As to mixing the WWF with water - I would try mixing some and putting in the your freezer. Most freezer run around 0 degrees so I wouldn't want the mixture to freeze solid (slushy may be OK). As to the front tires, I would rather hang weight on a front bumper if I needed better steering in the snow. The "Ns" don't steer all that easy to fight the extra weight when all year.

What is WWF?

I don't live in a really cold climate but I use plain old ethelene glycol antifreeze in my tires. I fill them as full as I can get them.

I remove the big valve core from the rear tires. Let them down with a jack and then connect a siphon to the valve stem from the antifreeze container and let it run in all it will take and when it begins to slow down going in I jack the wheel/tire up and this creates a suction and the rest will run in if you have the siphon set up right.

No, you aren't going to overload the tractor with weighted tires.

Only problem with ethylene glycol is that it's extremely poisoness and all animals like it, because it sweet tasting. A small unnoticed leak can kill your dogs/cats/whatever.
