I reciently bought a 2n and did some work on the rear end wich involved removle of the rear tires, and when the project was over I took her for a spin. Well I noticed the left tire was leaking cloride , my question is how long do I have before my rim is ruined. It is the original rim.
Thank you in advance.

Larry, I've had leaks in my tire, and come to find out it was the stem leaking. Just roll it to the top and change the core. Dad just replaced the tires on his 9n after 30 years,never had any sign of leaking. Yet the 1 oringial rim that was on it was all ate out in the middle. So I guess what I'm trying to say you can keep the fluid rinsed off the outside and they'll last a while, but the inside isn't going to be pretty when you break it down. Goodluck John

Hi Larry-
I saved one original rim this week! Two years ago one rusted thru and I had to get a new replacement. So, wanting to keep my tractor original, this week I just had the calcium chloride removed from both tires, new tubes installed, a new rim to replace the one original, and filled with RIM-GUARD. This stuff is supposed to be good. Search archives for more information or email me. Now I have one good original rim to fix up (some rust, but salvagable) while searching for a mate. They told me I had to replace the tubes too because you can't mix the calcium chloride with the RIM-GUARD as they will react with each other and cause foaming and possible rupture. Hope this helps...

The calciam should be in a tube, a leak means you have a hole in the tire and tube, unless you really need that extra weight on the rear I'd suggest having it removed and a new tube then you don't have to worry about your rims. the calciam sticks to the metal and unless washed off will continue to eat at the steel.

Well, the quicker you take care of it, the longer it will last. I'd break it down and see how much rust there is. If it's not too bad, you can weld new metal in and grind it to profile. Nobody is making original style rims any more, so once it's gone, you'll have to try to find a decent boneyard replacement.
