Finally got around to putting fluid in the rear tires of my 4200. Decided to go with RV antifreeze over washer fluid, mainly because less toxic and rust inhibiting. Used a 50/50 mix which should be good to -25 which is rare these days even in Wyoming. Searched a lot of posts regarding how to get the fluid in the tires. Bought the valve from Gemplers, and used a 1/2 inch barbed to 3/4 threaded poly pipe fitting to hook the tire adapter to my spot sprayer. Filled the sprayer with the mix, turned on the 12 volt diaphram pump and pumped 22 gallons into each 14-17.5 tire. Took about 15 min per tire, stopping every 4 or 5 gallons to bleed off the air.
I did have to rotate the tires and I will probably have to switch them back when its time to put chains on for snow removal
