You saved me a TON of headache. I inherited a tractor, so I don't know a lot of the history, and broke the head off the valve stem trying to air up the flat. I didn't realize they were 2 piece until I saw your video. A 2-pack of valve cores is much easier to swallow than removing and re-tubing two liquid filled tractor tires.
Good video. A now unfortunately retired local tire guy had to educate me on tractor stems when I had a leak. One tip he had was to jack up the flat tire side to get the weight of the tractor off the tire and reducing the pressure so less fluid would squirt out. It worked (I guess) but I was still nervous as heck taking the old one out and putting a new one in!

Great to hear that it was helpful!

Good tip!
If you jack up the tire, it would create a vaccum and suck the fluid in
put on jack !!!!
Maybe I will next time…
Am I too ignorant to know why your wheels are on the wrong side?
I don’t know why either. Was like that when I bought it. Works just fine so like that so never had a good enough reason change em.
This was way painful, no jack to lift the tire, valve stems on the inside, meaning the wheels are on the wrong side, oh dear…..
The wheels were on the wrong side when I bought the tractor. Not sure why. I’ll flip them around one of these days.
