You are going to hear from the wobegon sayers. Now what I did. If you have tubeless tires you might get some rim rust if you do not take some prcautions. Go to NAPA and buy some MACS 1300 rust inhibitor and you will need a bottle or two per wheel depending on volume. Read the label. On my garden tractors it is one bottle per wheel. You want to fill the tire to the top of the rim. That will give you about a 3/4 full tire. You must have enough air so the tires can flex. If you fill to the top it will be like riding on bricks. Now if you have tubes you can skip the rust inhibitor. Here is where a lot of people part ways. Rim guard "beet juice", water and methanol mix "denatured alcohol ". This mix you will want to stick a sample in your freezer and check a couple of hours latter to make sure it stays liquid. RV antifreeze or windshield wash fluid, both of which are non toxic, and lastly regular automotive anti freeze. My neighbor works in a junk yard and I hand him empty 5 gallon containers and he returns 35° below mix for free. As long as you do NOT have any leaks then kids and animals are safe. Just be aware of that potential problem. Jack up your machine and remove the Schrader valve core. You want that valve in the 12 o'clock position. Take a little vinyl tube with a funnel and tywrap that funnel up as high as possible like a ladder or something. Before you start pouring you need another person to "exercise" the tire. Push on it to get as much air out as possible per push. Now release and start pouring. When the tire gets almost back to shape, stop pouring. After your tube clears, exercise again and repeat. Fill till you get the tire 3/4 full. Fill the tire with the normal air pressure and when ever you check from now on you must have the valve up at the top. Also just put a tiny puff of air from your air hose into the valve to clear any fluids. If you don't it will mess up you pressure gauge. Water in la2n tractor tires make for a much less tippy machine and increases the grip of tires. The picture shows the pattern of turf tires in the sand. You can see how sharp the pattern is with the fluid. That is everything I can think of on a quiet Sunday morning to tell you. Have fun.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
