Get a 55 gallon closed steel drum. Take your inlet side of your air compressor and connect it to the top bung (tank laying horizontal). From the large center bung reduce the hole down to where you can hook a short piece of scrap hose with an I.D. the size of the O.D. of the valve stem. Jack the tractor and take it out of gear, rotate the valve stem to the 12 o'clock position. Remove the valve core and slip the hose over the outside of the valve and tighten a clamp over the hose. Rotate the tire to the 6 o'clock position and turn on the air compressor. Watch the drum closely because when the tire is empty the vacuum WILL collapse the drum. If you have a large compressor put a tee in the suction line and bleed some air in to regulate the vacuum to a low level. Do Not Let The Fluid Level Rise To Where It Can Get Into The Suction Line. Change the oil in your compressor when you are through, install synthetic oil to stop carbon build up on the valves. The compressor life will be greatly extended.
