I read in earlier posts about TSC selling a "hose-to-tire stem adapter", but cannot find this on their web site or by doing an Internet search. Is there another name and/or other places to buy this? Thanks, Dan
 
Tru-flate, Camel, and about any air fitting supply line offeres them. I bought one about a month ago from the local auto parts warehouse. Cost $10-15 or so.
 
Hey Doe, Milton Industries makes the piece you are looking for. The part number is #466S. What you need to connect a water hose to your valve stem will be in that kit. Toolsource.com has this kit in stock, and they sell it for $8.76.
 
Wow - lots of sources. Found the one Klf suggested on Toolsource.com: "Tire Air/Water Adapter Kit" by Milton Industries for $8.76. Toolsource #65512 and Manufacturers Part Number #S466.

I tried to include the picture here, but not sure how to do that. It seems to have a fitting for an airline and one for a garden hose. Does this essentially act as a siphon, with the hose stuck in a big drum/container of fluid?
 
No the water hose is hooked to your house. You use the pressure in the water source to fill the tire just like is if you were adding air.

you will need a pump to pump the liquid in the tires. cheapest route is to go to the big box home center, menards, home depot ect and get a small drill powered pump. they are about 10 dollars and about the size of your fist with 2 hose fittings. one length of hose goes in the chloride tank, the other hooks to the fill adapter and then you just start pumping. every so often press the little bleeder button on the fill adapter to vent the air out. fill valve is at the 12 oclcok position. when the fluid level is at the top of the rim it gives you about 75% fill.
 
Here I go again. Send me an e-mail and I'll send you a page from a 1935 JD-B owners manual that show 3 or 4 different ways to fill tires with fluids. One after you set it up you can even walk away from it and come back a couple hours later and it will do it on its own
 
(quoted from post at 08:49:15 01/01/10) They are hanging by the dozen on the rack at out local TSC stores in the tire section.

Yes, finally found it on their website, "Air/Water Adapter Kit", SKU Number: 1170832, in store only item.

Thanks,

Dan
 
(quoted from post at 07:34:59 01/01/10) How do you fill the tire with Rimguard or Calcium Chloride, etc?

I know a guy who puts fluid in a tank and adds a little air pressure to fill tires. I always thought it was a good idea.
 
Thanks to everybody. Now I understand enough to do this myself, rather than going to the implement place. Cheaper and greater sense of accomplishment that way!
 
If you are filling more than garden tractor tires
you don't want that one from TSC. It will take a
very long time to fill the tire.
You want the one from Gempler's that vents the
air out of the tire as the fluid goes in. It's
$13.95 but well worth the extra money.
