Go to the Google search engine and google something like tractor tire filling adapter. Play around with the words as you have to hit the right word to trigger all the available responses that are stored in google.
Mine cost around US $10. The adapter fits either the standard Schrader valve or on tractor tires with the steel stem, the inner fitting (when you unscrew the Schrader), a larger in diameter reducing the fill time.
Rotate the tire till the valve stem is at the top. Jack the tractor so that it's weight is off the tire but the tire still rests on the ground....the way I do it. Let the air out and install the adapter or connect it to the hose and then the tire.
Connect a hose from your water hydrant, or if pumping a solution, from your solution transfer pump, or gravity if elevated storage above the tire, via a water hose and fitting to the adapter. Fill till the filling slows indicating that the fluid is compressing the air that was left in the tire.
Shut off the fluid source, open the air vent on the adapter and let the trapped air out. Close the air vent, open your liquid source and repeat the process till full.....defined as where you decide you want to stop filling.
It's best to use a container and pump so that you have a means of measuring your input. www has fill amounts vs tire sizes and recommended fill volumes as a percent of available inner tube volume.
