1964 Ford 2000 tire question

Folks seems I just can't win this weekend. Got my tractor running and was doing some light work to see if I fixed the problem with tractor just shutting off when I popped a rear tire. Guessing a privet bush stump or something but now I have 1/2 half moon gash in right rear tire.

1) Can I plug this like any other tire?
2) How do I tell if it is a tubeless tire or not and does that make a difference?
3) Read alot on how folks put radiator fluid, dish washer soap, water, calcium chloride, etc. in old tractor tires? Something was leaking out but just looked like water to me? How do I tell what it is and what does this mean/effect when patching tire?

Sorry to sound like an idiot but I am not mechanically educated and know just enough about tractors to hurt myself so any help/advice is appreciated.
 
The tires on that tractor had inner tubes when the tractor was new, and if the wheels are original it almost assuredly has inner tubes now. As for the liquid coming out, if you live somewhere that gets real winters then it shouldn't be plain water, but if it looks like water and doesn't smell, then is likely to be calcium chloride, which is what most folks have used as liquid ballast in tractor tires for a long time. Only recently did folks start using other mixtures to either keep the rims from rotting or to be more environmentally friendly or both and most other mixtures have a color or an odor, or both. So you most likely need to replace the inner tube at the least, and depending on the size and location of the hole in the tire, you may be able to put a patch on the inside of the tire or you may have to replace the tire as well.
 
As said your most likely to have a tube which will need to be replaced or patched depending on how bad it it. As for the tire depending on how bad it is a boot maybe able to be put in and get you by for a long time. O have 3 or 4 tractors with boots in the tires and they have been like that for 5-10 years.
