I recently purchased a 560 gas w/loader from my retiring father-in-law. It is a nice tractor overall but this spring he had to replace a rim because calcium had leaked and rusted it out really bad. Unfortunately he put calcium back in - instead of removing from the other tire - which is what I would have done - and now the other tire is seeping around the valve stem.
I am planning on taking the tire to the tire shop after I drain it to get a new tube installed and make sure the rim is usable. I don"t want them to drain the calcium because they will charge me and they will keep it - I want to pour it on my lane for dust control - I was too cheap this year to pay the county $400 to do it and I regret it now it is so dry and dusty.
So .... Can I just park it with the valve stem down, unscrew the stem and let it run out? Then put the stem back on and fill it with air? I plan on doing both tires and then loading the tractor up with rear wheel weights. I know it will leave a little calcium in them but it should get most I hope.
Let me know if that is a bad plan or if you have a better one.
