My rear tires are loaded with calcium. I would prefer that they were'nt! I would rather get segemented weights and use them accordingly! Has anyone on this forum ever unloaded their tires? How would you do it? How would you properly dispose of the liquid? Is it hazzardous? Am I wrong for feeling this way?

Don't know why you feel this way. Have had calcium in every tractor I have ever owned or driven. Have had it in my 8N for 15 years. As long as the tires are holding air You probably don't have a tube leak. The rims were never meant to be run without tubes and will probably leak down. As far as wheel weights they are ok but with calcium in the tires you just forget it. Just my opinion

Some governments allow it to be spread on gravel roads to reduce dust. Check local regs. Better to let the tire shop deal with it. Steve 8N 169302

The local Farmers COOP did mine the last time I replaced a tire,about $10. However be careful where you drain the salt mixture, as it will NOT freeze and attracts moisture and eats metal!
Merry Christmas to all and a happy new year.

I don't think you are wrong to want to get rid of something that could ruin your original rims. I wish the previous owner of my 8N had not kept the chloride in the wheels as long as he did because the original rear rims suffered fatal damage and had to be replaced.

Put the value stem at the 12 oclock position, take out the stem. Clamp a hose to the stem, jack the tire up, rotate to 6 oclock, eventually, a vacuum lock with be created. Have to rotate back to 12 to get air back in. There is a small tool that has a build in vent, to attach. As far as disposable. Just salt and water. This will take couple hours. I had mine repaired a while ago, and had no weight for a couple weeks, I did notice a difference while pulling gravel with a box blade. Loss of traction, tended to spin alot.

I have 500# on each wheel. They are in three pieces bolted to the rim. I have no idea the brand, they came with the tractor. I drained the liquid out also.

The last time I replaced my tires on my 8N I just bought new tubes. I cant tell any difference in what the tractor will pull. The only wheel weights I've seen for N's are one piece. You could take the tire stem extensions off and probably get most of the calcium chloride out but not all. It's not that hazardous, just very corrosive to metal. Like salt.

The local elevator charged me 10 bucks to pump out the calcuim chloride when I replaced the tires and tubes.
