Tires is it ok to add windshield washer antifreeze to my new cub cadet ltx 1042 kw tires?

I can't see where you are going to gain that much weight. 5 gallons in each tire you would have 78 lbs. The differents between a 150 lb. woman and a 229 lb man. Can you get 5 gallons in a tire?

My added weight is not directly attached to the axle and is balanced over the four wheels.

Putting water in your tires or adding wheel weights is not the same as towing or pulling or carrying a 300 pound man or a 100 pound man.

I know a couple of you will call a red ball blue if I say it is red. But don't give wrong advice just because of your dislike for me.

We have had this talk about a year ago and everyone agreed that water or weights will not hurt the tranny like pulling or towing.

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

Maybe get a set of winter tires with aggressive tread?

I have had 100lbs (50 lbs each) of wheel weights on my garden tractor from day one (1992) using it year round, mowing in summer, snow removal winter and never had any drive train problems yet. So just what damage is 70lbs of water in the tires going to do? Break the houseing, bearings, gears, over heat the oil??? I just can't see any harm in it. The weight isn't on the axle. Sorry I just don't agree on this one. Another thing I can't understand is how a home owner will fill his tires with washer fluid without a specal pump. So as the tire fills with fluid where does the air go?

Buckshot, weights and chains come off during summer operation. Fluid would stay in all year round.

:smile: Even though you pull the chains and weights. You still have them on during the winter, so would that not put extra strain on the alum transaxle? Most LT's today have a disclaimer on the rear, stating not for ground engaging equipment. I pull the chains and leave the weights on in the spring on my CC149, I realize that it is a heavy duty GT. But only use it for snow removal and tilling.

I added washer fluid to my 1042 rear tires approx 6 years ago with no problems I mow approx 1 acre, plow snow etc

I guess it all depends how small or big your toy is. Haha
