Ah,the old calcium chloride bugaboo,sold me a LOT of rims over the years.ANY time you attempt to check the air in a filled tire,especially with CC solution,as said,jack the tractor up on the side you ae working with,turn the valve up to "High Noon",and replace the valve core,no use to even attempt to reuse it.You may well wish to buy a 4-way valve core tool,as you likely will need to use the puller end to remove the corroded valve core.Cores are the same on the old and new style valves.If you are careful,and with a little luck,you will be able then to inflate the tire.Then lower the tractor.If you need to remove the valve assembly,don"t twist the valve,you may then break loose the bond between the valve and the tube,then its over for that tube.Same for removing the valve retainer rings,old style brass,new style plastic.If you want to save the tube,cut them,the tube you save may be your own.Of course,always use a steel valve stem cap,or even plastic caps are better then none.As always,be careful around that CC solution,it can burn.You can always find any skin nicks when you handle it!!
