Loading Tires

Recommended Posts

KC9KAS

A couple of days ago I loaded the tires on my C-160 because I am going to use it this year as one (of 2) of my snow plow machines.

I had bought a valve that screws onto the tire valve stem and a garden hose attaches to the other end. This valve has a "burp" valve on it, because as you pump the fluid into the tires air also is present.

The pump I used was from an old travel trailer water system and had an automatic shut off at 30 PSI....another reason for the burp valve.

I used up my last bit of windshield washer fluid on this project.

I know everyone (me included) likes to see pictures, so here they are!

I remember selling 55 gal drums of WWF. One guy named Al would deliver them in a metal drum and toss them up onto the dock by himself. Heavy son of a guns. ( I knew his name was Al because the first time he came to the store, I asked him his name and he lifted he belly to show me his belt buckle with AL on it. " The Names AL")  :lol:

No idea...They could be.

I like them on the outside better.....easier than rolling it back & forth to find the stem on the inside!

I would address him as Mister AL Sir...   I used to move those drums around at the dealership when I was young. I needed help to tilt one back onto a 2 wheeler to move it when it was full...... Watch your toes!!!   :lol:
