I have A JD 60 with fluid filled filled tires and would like to get fluid out and replace with air. What is the best procedure to do this and should I replace the tubes with a new ones? It seems that it would be almost impossible to get all of the fluid out. Thanks, John

John, as the others have said if you don't need the weight it should come out. You can get all but about 1 gallon out by just putting the valve stem down & removing the valve then attach a hose, you might have to re-air the tire as it gets close to empty to get enough pressure to push the rest out. I have tried a couple of different ways to get it all out, one way, after it is almost empty is to put about 15lbs of air in the tire then drill a plastic valve cap to fit tight on a little plastic line like air shock inflation line then stick the line in through the valve stem all the way to the bottom of the tube & let the pressure push the remainder out. The way I do it now is use a 55 gallon drum with a fitting welded on both caps, I hook a hose between the tire valve stem & one fitting & my air conditioning vacuum pump to the other & that will evacuate almost all the liquid out. I save the calcium fluid & use it in the summer for dust control & in the winter I use it for ice removal (it works excellent for both). At sometime you should figure on replacing the tubes, but that can wait until you need to do a tire repair or replace the tires.

We pumped the fluid out of the entire two cylinder collection when the tire truck was on site for another job. They had a vucuum pump & it actually puckered in the tires/tubes getting the last few gallons.

i had to do the same with my ford 641. What you do is jack up the tractor, turn the wheel until the valve stem is at the bottm, take out the valve in the valve stem and put a rubberr hose on it leading to a bucket.you cant get all the fluid out unless you take the tire off the rim. you shouldnt have to replace the tube unless it is leaking.
