Jay, the best replacement is Beet Juce (believe me, the stuff does not corrode rims, and doesnt freeze in weather we would ever operate a tractor in. The best policy I can recommend is to find a tire store that will take the fluid and either have themm come and get it, or take the tire to them. You can drain a lot of fluid out of the tire if it is placed with the stem down and a hose affixed to allow capture of the salt. Calcium chloride is not good for the earth, and will kill plants. I f captured in a barrel by pumping with a drill pump, or other small pump, be sure to rinse the pump after use. Five gallon pails with lids would also be good for handling the stuff. Fast food joints often have them free. Clean the rim with aggressive wire brush/sand blast, bead blast. CHECK FOR THIN SPOTS. Rims need to be sound, and rusted areas reinforced with welded in metal on the inside if possible, or brazing in the pits with attention to thickness is OK as well. I would go with the beet juice others are using used autoantifreeze, but it is also toxic to animals and not environmentally friendly. Getting the bead broken on the rusty rim may be tough, I have had luck using a bottle jack (chained down) under a heavy vehicle to break the bond but care is in order. They are a hassle. The Rim will be pretty specific to your 300U. JimN
