We take the fluid out all our antique tractors. We do so by driving the tractor up on a block or two on the side you want to drain. I use a peice of black plastic line, sort of looks like a vacuum line, and it fits tightly over the valve stem. I remove the core and put the other end in a 55 drum. The weight of the tractor pushes it out and if you align your blocks correctly so that they end up between the outsides of the rim you will get a large portion of the fluid out. It may be necessary to add air 2 or three times as sometimes the tube gets pinched and fluid gets trapped. I have been able to get as much as 75 gallons out of an 18.4x34 using this method. The best part is you walk away and do something else in the meantime. Ryan
