I am going to remove choide from tires, does anyone know the best way to do this without removing tires?
I would like to catch choide in a container if possible so it does not get in the soil ,any help would be appreciated. BOB

I have done this several times. You need a tire valve filling adapter ( avail. from TSC and others) a garden hose and container(s) (I use 30 gallon garbage cans from WalMart).

1)Jack up the tractor tire and rotate the tire till valve stem is on top.

2)Unscrew tire valve to let air out of tire (you may need a bucket to catch some chloride as some may blow out.

3)Connect adapter and garden hose. Place container down hill from the tractor so a siphon will be created.
4) rotate tire till valve stem is on the bottom. Let down jack so tractor weight aids in expelling fluid.

5)Eventually flow will stop due to vacuum in the tire. Jack up and rotate stem to top and remove hose to let air in.

6) Repeat steps 1 through 4 until all possible fluid is out. You will still have a couple gallons which can't be removed since it will be below the valve stem even when the tire is flat.

PS: not a fun job but an excellent test of character.

The best way to remove chloride from tires is to hire it done. You need a suction pump and tank to get it all out, unless you're prepared to cut the inner tube and let it out wherever it wants to go. It's nasty stuff, corrosive and it'll kill any greenery it gets onto. Even if you catch it all, what will you do with it? Tire companies will charge you to receive it (it's hazardous waste, don't you know) and there's no other legitimate use for it except for "oiling" dirt roads - you'll end up dumping it somewhere.

Calcium chloride is used as a roadway ice melter, a soil stabilizer to prevent roadway and shoulder heaving in winters, a concrete anti-freeze for winter work, a fire bucket/extinguisher anti-freeze, a drying compound (in flake or powder form), a paper additive for improving strength and dye retention, a well drilling compound, a weed killer, a cement kiln additive for alkali reduction, a brine ingredient for refrigeration, a steel and iron blast furnace additive, a precipitant for waste water treatment, and of course a desicant dust suppressent for unpaved roadways. I am sure there are quite a few other uses for calcium chloride. Tractor tire weighting is but a small fraction of the many uses of calcium chloride.

It is *not* considered a hazardous material by the EPA, and is not subject to any federal hazardous material restrictions or regulations.
