This may be the one of those discoveries that I come across every so often that changes the way I work when out in my tractor. After years of problem-free operation, my tractor finally sheared off the valve stem on my rear tire way back in the woods. Unfortunately for me the rear tires are filled with liquid ballast and so getting that valve stem replaced without removing the tire is a huge time saver. In comes the discovery. Check out the valve stem I found that I can install in less than 5 minutes without having to take the tire off the rim. This sure saved the day!

Ohhhh. I thought that was hydraulic fluid.
That valve will last about as long as a regular one. I used a few before and never experienced any leaks or degradation of any kind. Glad you got it fixed. I would not think you lost enough liquid to bother trying to top it off. Nice work!
Great job on finding an easy fix. Glad to see you are back up and running again just as the next snowstorm hits.
Glad you found this solution. I was afraid you would have trouble with the install in that awkward position but thankfully you didn’t. The fix was quick and easy so maybe it’s the beginning of your luck taking a turn for the better. You better get the road open asap cause it’s gonna snow some more before spring time. Good luck. 🥸👍👀👋✅
Just curious as to why the wheels were mounted with the stems on the inside. Is this some sort of cold weather/snow thing?
Why are your valve stems on the inside of the wheel well?
Not a big fan of the valve stem located on the inside of the rim. Outstanding product 👍💪. All tractor owners should have these in the toolbox as a backup
My 2018 CK 3510 CHSE has stem guards only on the rears.
That could definitely come in handy! I’ll add one to the tool box! Yes you can fill through that valve with liquid but I think you’ll be fine where it is.
Glad you were able to find these. They are a life saver when you're on the trail in the middle of no where.
Amazing… I sure hope you're not beating yourself up over your reaction to the emergency as it happened. You were a lot more calm and resourceful than most people would have been in that situation, AND you held on to your camera at the same time. What a legend. Good on ya, man.
What happened to your mini.i take my tires n rims off w my mini n load em in my truck n take them in n get em fixed and no worries w leaks .I've also taken them off n roll them to the front of the tractor staying close to the tractor n lift it w the loader n back the truck under.
One “Gosh” from Sandy = five F-bombs from me. Your attitude in the face of adversity is a pleasure to witness. I hope the fix holds for you; I’m sure you retained most of your rim guard and will just need more air. Cheers.
thankfully vise grips exist, the anything needed go to tool
Hi Star!
Does your $30.xx valve fix company also sell a valve stem that beet juice, etcetera can be added? Can you ask them to start making valve stems that beet juice, ectetera can be added?!
I haven't watched this video yet, but I saw the preview of it. I happened to realize that I forgot to tell you that the stem screws out of the piece in the wheel. I thought that you had broken the whole stem off. My bad. At least through the help of this channel, you were able to get the advice needed to get it fixed. You were very lucky indeed. The cost was minimal, and the fix was fairly easy. I'm glad you got it fixed. That tractor is very essential for your operation. Good luck!
It’s easy to put a liquid in thru a Schrader valve stem. Remove the valve core, slip some pvc tubing over the outside of the valve, that’s a snug fit, then pump or pour your fluid in. Be patient. Replace valve core. Peeps do this adding sealant on 4wd s, bicycles etc. Ensure your liquid isn't too lumpy to pass thru a valve stem.
That replaceable valve stem is great. I didn't know such a thing existed. It sure beats having to take the tire off.
Sandy,may things go better from here on out now on to fixing your snow thrower for the tractor 😮😊❤
Nice fix, and that’s a nice toque!
need to weld some thing for protect the valve !
