ZippoVarga Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I remember a topic about filling tires and remembered to take a couple snap shots of the filler I got from Harbor Freight. It has two different fittings for the different schrader valves out there now and the other end fits to a standard garden hose and it features a bleeder button to let the air our as you fill. It's angled towards the tire so all you get is air out and not your fluid.
haykarenhardy Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Sean, You would need a tank or something to fill a tire with ww fluid? The fitting is standard garden hose so what else do you need to ballast with this fitting? I have loaded tires on one of my tractors and am happy with the improvement in handling on a hill.sm01 Stan
ZippoVarga Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 I just used an old garden hose and a 2 liter bottle with the end cut off. Poured the WW fluid in, held the bottle with one hand and pressed the vent with the other. Didnt take long before I had what I wanted in the tires without having to break down the bead or anything like that.
GregB Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Do you have the item number? I searched on their web site and could not find it. How much did you have to pay for the filler? GregB
gregc Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 It's not from Harbor Freight, but here's one: http://www.gemplers.com/product/7K/Air-Liquid-Adapter-Kit
ZippoVarga Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 Greg is right...I found the receipt and it was from TSC. There's just WAY too many toy stores here in Muncie and I get "corn" fused...lol.
gregc Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Sean, I didn't mean that yours wasn't from Harbor Freight. I was talkin' about the one I linked to. :)
haykarenhardy Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 This is what I used to ballast my tires, I think I could save the fluid if I want to mount new tires on the rims. Stan
IronPony Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Has anyone tried to use these for green slime? Now that I no longer live in "goat head" country, I want to put green slime in my tires to stop up the goat head punctures. Dan aka IronPony
haykarenhardy Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Has anyone tried to use these for green slime? I have only used the pump filler for WW fluid. It might work for green slime, but that stuff is thick? Stan
B-16_IC Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 A while back I bought a large jug of Slime that came with it's own pump, seemed to work well. I have lots of things around here with thorns.C
ZippoVarga Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 Greg, I went to Harbor today for some other stuff and they don't carry it. At least in my location. The web sight might list it.
