Is there a way to add air to a filled tire? On of my tires is a little low.

easy to pump air through liquid also, but more messy. The Iowa tire guy post it right on. You should get a few new valves handy as they often leak after you put in air after they've been sitting a while. Easy to screw in - go to local NAPA store for guage and valve stems.

Yep its as easy as adding air to any tire other then you may get a little fluid back at you when you put the valve on r off. Best to do it you can get the stem at the highest point but it doesn't really matter where it is since air goes up.

Good idea to put a jack under the tractor to take all the weight off tire, then roll valve to top, then if valve stem is stuck and does not reseal then you will not have fluid spraying all over and loosing all of the fluid while you are trying to change that valve. tractor setting on tire will blow all fluid out while trying to change and blow the new valve out of your hand.

Be prepared for the valve core to stick open if it has been in the tube for a while. If it does you just have to replace the Schrader valve. Not a problem, just be prepared for it.

Roll the tire until the valve stem is at the top.

Just putting air in can happen with the valve stem at any position. Its nicest for the gauge to have the valve at the top.

The tire shouldn't be more than 3/4 full anyway else it doesn't have enough air to flex.

You can get a calc guage from NAPA to check the pressure.
