In Reply to: Tire ballast posted by Ted in NE-OH on November 19, 2015 at 17:57:20:
my chart for a 14.9-24 tire shows the tire will hold 47 gallons of straight water, for maximum ballast, the tire will hold 38 gallons of water and 190 lbs of calcium chloride, for a total of 507 lbs per tire, and giving you the 47 gallons of solution. when you mix the calcium with water, it will get very hot. let it cool for a few hours before loading the tire. you may want to put new tubes in before you load them, depending on how old the tubes are. i brush two coats of por-15 rust conversion primer on the inside of the rims and let it dry overnight. the stuff is tough as nails, and if you do get a leak, the calcium wont damage the rim. napa or farm and fleet will have the fill valves, and a cheap drill operated pump (about 10 dollars from home depot) will pump the fluid in. on my farmall m with a loader, i run 614 lbs ballast in each tire, and 4 wheel weights. it keeps the hind end down pretty good !!
