Reading the post below on tire weights reminded me of a lingering problem I have to take care of before winter. one of the tires on my JD 520 has started to leak calcium. I have a few questions regarding the repair.
1) If the wheel is not rusty is it very hard to get off?I had been told to do the repair on the tractor but would much rather take it to someone that knows what they are doing.
2) What is a ballpark figure on the repair if I deliver it to a service center? (new tube?) do they usually offer sandblasting/painting?
3) I was told the tube only holds about 30-35 gallons of calcium mix. I was hoping to get away w/o the calcium by hanging weights on the loader mounts on the axils, any thoughts on that approach?
Thanks for the help
Tom
