I've seen very old tires pull apart trying to move implements that were sunken into frozen to the ground. Could the tractor have been parked in deep mud that later froze around the tire lugs? Where did the tires rip?
I'm surprised it took 14 winters before the problem showed up so catastrophically. If the tires are frozen solid, he must have been running with mostly slush in those tires during other winters.
If he re-used old fluid from another tractor, did he check the strength of the old fluid, or add water to it when it was transfered? Calcium cloride is not too expensive, most farms in the midwest used the maximum 5 lb/gallon mix to get the extra weight.
