My '47 H came with fluid in the rear tires and, while I haven't verified it yet, I'm betting the freezing protection is calcium cloride. They don't leak now. There are spots on the rims that look like they've been patched with JB weld or whatever and I'd just as soon fend off any problems before they occur. I'd like to get the calcium cloride out of there, blast and paint the rims, put in inner tubes (unless there are good arguments against this) and get them filled with a liquid that has a freezing protection that won't corrode if I develop a leak. Is it inadvisable to try to do this myself? I can rope the wheels upright to an overhead barn beam but I wouldn't want to try to move them until the fluid is out. How hard is it to remove a standard Ag tire from an H rim? I imagine I'd need to get a tire service to fill them again. What are the non-corrosive alternatives to freezing protection?

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
