Does anyone know if Ferguson made rear tires weight for the TEA ( 28 inch rims)? I'm thinking this might be a better solution than calcium. I hear calcium corodes the rims when it leaks.

If you use the discs from a Dexta or later Ford, you can use the readily available Ford weights.

Recently i went to Sams and bought 75 Gallons of the cheap window wiper fluid. and put that the tubes of 52 "B". it works reall well, and is cheap. you only loose a little weight when compared to the calcium also. can get fluid at walmart or sam's for about 94 cents/ Gallon. great cheap way to add weight. a lot of the people i pull with use it as an alternative to calcium. and best of all it will NOT rust your rims. Good Luck!

Here in Michigan a non-saline weighting fluid is used, think it's about $100/tire, so not cheap, but not corrosive. Unfortunately don't know the name...the local New Holland dealer carries it, as well as a tire company.

It is true that leaking calcium will eat rims and it can also ruin tire gauges. I have tractors here that have had calcium in them for 50+ years and only needed a washer welded to the rim (around valve stem hole). It can get expensive though if you have to have someone come out and put it in. I don't know if Ferguson had wheel weights, but our 8Ns have them. Might want look at that also. Hope this helps.

Antifreeze, now that sounds interesting! Is there a specific type? Is this something that I can do myself or is special equipment required .

Thanks

A lot of people have been are using liquid in the tires, but instead of calcium, antifreeze. If you fill them only half way or less you can also lower the centre of gravity this way.
