Need some advice. I have a Super 55 that I am fixing up. It is a working tractor, but very light work. I only use a back blade and 3 point scoop for working around the propety I am fixing up. However, as I have time I am fixing things that need attention. I am working on the brakes and putting in some new oil seals. Now for my question, when I removed the one of the rear wheels I found out it did have fluid in the tires. I am guessing it is calcium chloride. Thing is, I don't really need the extra weight. I am more afraid of the fluid leaking and ruining my rims. Should I take out the fluid and if so how do you do that. What is the correct way to dispose of it if I take it out? Thanks for any advice..... ...

Paul, I would get rid of the fluid. I have plowed with 2 16 inch bottoms in heavy Ohio ground and made a go of it. That was with no fluid, or cast weights. Your local farm equipment dealer should have the pump and other gadgets to remove it. A tire dealer that specializes in ag tires would have the equipment too. Around here, the road commission uses chloride to keep the dust down on the dirt roads. It will kill the grass if it ends up in the yard. A person could remove the valve core and try to catch the fluid to spread on a dirt drive. Sounds pretty messy though, and might not be acceptable where you live. Hope this helps.
