They are the "clip style" not loops. They are 14.9 x 24" tires and it says 13" rims. The one on the right is the worse with an area about the size of the palm of your hand that is rusted pretty bad. I guess these rims are unavailable so I either need to change the centers and rims to go to a loop style or try and get these fixed. There is calcium in the tube as some was dripping from the valve stem. I put a cap on it and it stopped. Would I be better off draining the calcium in the field with the tire on the tractor and then filling with just air ? If I did this do I need to do the other side or leave that one ? I wish I knew how long before these were going to blow out. I cant see the tube just a crispy area where some has flaked off..

The fluid in your tires is most likely calcium cloride solution. If you drain it on the ground, nothing will grow there for a looong time. This stuff is very corrosive as you probably already know. The leaky tube or valve is probably the reason the rim is rotted. On the other hand, the tractor is likely to be quite helpless without the ballast in the tires. Having one tire loaded and one empty isn't harmful if you are on flat ground, but the empty tire will spin much quicker than the other. Working steep ground could be another matter because the tractor is unbalanced. If I were in your position, I would try to find someone who changes rear tractor tires and have them pump the fluid out of the tires into barrels and dismount the tires. Then you could have the rims fixed, the tires remounted with NEW tubes, and the fluid put back in.
