CaCl like you mentioned can destroy the rims. Was the CaCl in the left wheel??? Was possibly put in the "landside" wheel for additional weight when plowing. The furrow wheel (right) tended to get better traction and didn't need as much weight. For light work like runnng a rotary mower most on this site would say NO to CaCl. Might be a different story if you had a loader. The old H / M style wheel weights are not all that much if and when you might need more weight. So, between the rusting, extra time and energy during tire repairs I would say no. I have 25 tractors or so and none of my old time tractors have any fluid. A couple of my newer work horse tractors do. I have seen the damage it can do and sometimes you don't even know it is leaking.
