On my Massey 175, when I shut her down on a level spot the tractor moves back and forth for a short period of time. Im thinking this can only be from the fluid in the rear tires sloshing back and forth. Now wouldnt that mean there wasnt enough fluid in the tires? Also could I add window washing solution to a tire that already has calciam in it ? Lots of questions, Thanks.

Most likely it would be the tire fluid. As stated in other posts there is no set minimum amount of fluid in a tire, just the amount of weight needed. For the maximum amount we don't go over the valve stem when it is at the top. This is so pressure can be checked with air. As for topping off with washer fluid it should be okay unless there is a reaction. Try mixing them together in a bowl first. I would find out what what it would cost to top off with calcium chloride first, might be cheaper than you think.

That sloshing which is vigerous enough to move the tractor. It's energy came from the fuel you paid for. And just like a slow drip on a sink tap that wastes gallons of hot water per day. The sloshing comes from a small but steady usage of fuel. More than enough to purchase many sets of cast weights of the life span of a tire.

Yes thats the fluid sloshing. Tires need some air in them so they will compress some. The sloshing is felt more when they are about half full,but the differance is small compared to a full up to the stem filled tire.

thereis no set level for fluid in a tire that is determined by how much weight you want to add i dont know about addin washer fluid to calcium if the tire is only half full i noticed it takes more breaking power to stop it but i didnt notice it rock back and forth this is on a jd b not a very heavy tractor just my 2 cents.

Just a thought...is the tractor out of gear or your foot on the clutch until the engine stops moving completely? The momentum of the flywheel will rock the tractor just a little bit if it's allowed to.

Kinda like I suspected, most agree its from the fluid sloshing. Think ill put another 10 gal in her, and yes ill mix some with calcium first to see if there is a reaction. thanks
