Hey guys,
I been thinking today.. Which is usually not good (LOL) but, I have tire problems (as yesterday's post gets into a bit)..
I think I have located a fair set of rubber locally (they should get me through the next couple years till I decide to paint it) at a affordable price..
My question is this: Is there a easy way to remove the liquid ballast (which is the easy part.. I've done that a time or 2..)
Question 2: Is there a somewhat simple way to put said ballast back in? I do not have a pump that I think would work.. is there a way I could perhaps make gravity do the work? (Put the ballast in a drum, then raise drum higher than the valve stem with loader/pallet forks?) I have the "water adapter" that I bought way back and never did use, so I have that..
I don't really want to hear not to load the tires, or that it eats rims.. If you don't want me to load em back up, bring your pocketbook, count out cash till I say stop, then you can do what you wish with the tractor.. I'd just like to hear a way I can accomplish what I'd like to do on a limited budget.. The tires are gonna eat up all my spending cash for the time, and with our wet weather, I don't see work pickin up for a week or 2..
Thanks for your time and helpful suggestions, and sorry if my previous statement seems a little harsh.. I don't tell what to do with your possessions, and I expect the same in return.
Brad
