I have a feeling if I take this thing off to air up this tire which has calcium in it, I'm going to loose the air and the calcium. Seems like I tried to take this off before and there was no core in the valve stem....can you put a core back in without loosing everything if that's the case? Why would someone do this?  |

you should get rid of the salt water in your tires anyhow. LOOK what it's doing to your rim. With saltwater and rims, it's not IF your rims will rust out but WHEN! ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| If you decide to mess with it jack tractor up and rotate valve stem to the top. My choice would be to take it to the tire shop and have them remove fluid and tire then go get rim and sand blast it at that point if rim is still good paint it and have tire shop remount tire using new tube. |

Time for a new tube and a several day washing to get all that crap off of the rim.

If you want to get rid of the fluid yourself, put the valve stem at the top and remove the cap and (hopefully) the valve core. It might be destroyed by the fluid. (I had one like that.) Dig a hole somewhere that you don't want anything to grow there for a couple of years, about 3 foot deep. Take some small hose and put over the valve stem and then turn the tire to the bottom with the other end of the hose in the hole you dug. After a while when the flow slows down (air lock), turn the tire back to the top to get some more air into it and then back down again. Keep repeating this until the fluid is almost gone. You can't get it all out. Now deal with the rim. Have a pressure washer? That should get the rim pretty clean and tell you if it's any good or you need a new one.

Used to be if a tire man came out to do work for you they would buy the fluid off you if you wanted it gone. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

I never had any trouble with weeds growing where i had tires full that leaked or blew out. ---I know its s'posed to kill but probably depends on how strong the mix was. You need to work fast to try saving your rims and do both of them while you are at it----- save grief later on with the other one! ------------- http://machinebuildersnetwork.com/ |

Others are giving you very bad advise. I’ve handled many times more CaCl2 than everybody on here added together. With a good tube with good valve core it’s positively harmless. Rims rust because of poor maintenance. CaCl2 is used in food it’s harmless. If you have a leak immediately wash with HOT HOT water and your fine. Uncle got conned into pumping the fluid out of his tires in the name of better tire flex tractor now can’t pull a sick whore off a piss pot. ------------- 8030 and 8050MFWD, 7580, 3 6080's, 160, 7060, 175, heirloom D17, Deere 8760 |

Victory, 'been a long, long time since I heard the last phrase in your post. LOL I just replaced the rusted out rim on my D-17. Transferred the tire onto a new rim, put in a new tube and put the CaCl2 back in. As long as there are no leaks, there are no problems. Can't beat that nearly 500 lbs of extra ballast in EACH wheel. At 79, the next one will be done by the tire dealer.........there comes a time when you have to admit you can't do everything you used to do. LOL

In theory the CaCl won't rot the rim, as a practical matter millions of rotten rims prove different.Tire places I go to won't use CaCl anymore anyway most all use methanol.Plus cost of dealing with fluid makes it uneconomical for me,tire goes flat I don't loose my wheel weights and have to buy more. |

Victory Allis has it right, No leaks, No rust. I change the valves on my fluid filled tires every three years or so. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

| I spent 22 years in the tire business and replaced/repaired hundreds of rear farm tires and don't remember ever seeing anything like that. It looks like you need an old style core housing. It should screw right on where that unscrews. |

You can get them at TSC. New style has male threads, old style has female threads. It should screw right on where that unscrews. |

Here are pictures of the Old and New (currently used) valve core housings. You may want to have both on hand when you do this.  |
