I did I believe twice on my old 850 ford, the first one the dopey kid from the tire outfit that installed a new rim, tube and tire for me, valve was never right, leaked awhile, screwed up the valve hole on that new rim, so I dismounted the tire, let the CA CL out, welded the rim, (NEVER WELD A RIM WITH A TIRE ON IT, TIRE MUST BE COMPLETELT OFF - disclaimer here LOL !) close the hole, then ground the inside smooth, left a thick weld profile on the outside, then painted the rim with zinc galv spray, remounted, reloaded the tire. I changed the opposite side valve core believe, but that new tire, tube was installed by a much better tire guy, I sandblasted, and put several coats of zinc galv spray on that rim, mostly have good luck with CA CL loaded tires, I'm about to change valve cores again, even with the correct fluid amount, and valves up, I still get fluid coming out, when I air them up or change valve cores, so I have to clean everything involved but good. With the minor leaks, and or having done the one tire myself, had I knew to fix that one sooner, the rim would have been fine, new hole worked fine, though I should have pounded a new flat spot before drilling the hole.
I don't know whats up with the poor quality tubes/valves out there today, if it was doing this often, I'd change to something other than CA CL too. Thing is, CA CL does work fine, just those valve cores, and or faulty tubes, get a puncture, you know it has to come apart and be cleaned asap, vs the other not being so critical, any tractor in use is likely to be fixed on time anyway so for me, I don't mind using it just keep an eye on it, its been years since I've had any trouble and I run in all kinds of brush, doing some logging, easy to catch a valve stem or a puncture if you are not careful.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
