What is the deal with a CACL loaded tire valve stem that is leaking at the valve cap? Last time I tried to change a valve core on one that leaked awhile, the tube just let go at the valve, and all the fluid came out. Tube was done. Is that typical of CACL leaks, valve stem on tube will let go and that's it ? The ones I am concerned about most likely have been weeping a long time at the valve core and through the caps, maybe a few years.
If so, best to be prepared for the full repair as I know from the past, don't want to open the can of worms unexpectedly.
I've never really had any trouble with CACL loaded tires, just keep tabs on them, and replace valve cores periodically, clean up carefully when done. I'm a bit more careful about punctures, sapling stubs, or similar. I would consider alternate ballast, but it does seem CACL is really no issue unless you ignore a leak.
I may need to source rims for 14.9-28 tires which are good. They are on 4 double loop rims with square centers. Its a Ford 4630 with fwd. I can't say for sure what they are like until broken down.
What is the actual correct rim size for a 14.9-28 tire? I know that you have 1" range, ie; 14.9-28 will work on a 12x28 rim, so I assume the oem rim would be 13x28?
Can't believe the previous owner let this go, actually was the first owner, as it sat and did not see much use with the 2nd owner. Nice mechanically sound low hour tractor too, one that I want to restore to factory condition aesthetically. As I look at it, "some people really should not own tractors" given the minor repairs this one will need to accomplish the previous LOL. More so the rims, hard to figure why someone would just ignore leaks.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
