Had to get a new valve stem the liquid rusting compound has already ruined one new tube in 2 years and ruined the valve stem in the other tire . Buy summer there will be no more liquid rusting compound around this place . So I picked up new valve stems I always check the clearance aisle today they had a hydraulic filter for John Deere 1.90$. Then I found a digital tire pressure gauge Must have been my lucky day the stem was at the top ! Went and took the 4020 for a test drive to check for any leaks in the newer heater system I put in. I’m going to try and buy This old John Deere spreader

I agree completely S V I am trying to rid my farm of liquid rusting compound. I know some will argue but to each his own. I was sold on this when a few years ago we took the original tires off of my 1962 560 Farmall. It had never had fluid. Not only did the rims look new but the tubes did too. No more fluid for me , just bought 2 new rear rims for my 806 because of fluid.
 
I took my fluid out of the 806 also, in 2012 i think, i weld the year into the outside of the rim,the year i do it,but didn't have to buy new rims, for that one!!! Then i have some good weed killer for in the yard,LOL.
 
I’m just going to pull out back put the stems on the bottom and dump it might have to air up the tires a time or two get it all out and maybe even a little pump
 
I hate fluid it’s weight but it really isn’t cheap when you figure out the problems it creates
 
I’ve got 4 tractors with fluid. I have hills, I cut and bale road and water ditch.

I’ll take the safety of the fluid over the inconvenience of some rust over the decades.

Just had to get 2 rims welded at the holes to fix when needing new tires on it. $150, if they last another 45 years until needing the next repair, that’s probably ok...

My little utility tractor came without fluid, I took an empty gravity wagon down the driveway with it, when I got on some grass with dew it pushed me the rest of the way down the hill. It had 400 hours on it when I got it, without fluid, it lifted the rear and wanted to roll over with any bucket load. Most dangerous tractor I owned, couldn’t believe anyone used it like that. And my previous tractor was a H with narrow front.... After that ride down the hill I parked it, would not drive it until the coop could get there and put fluid in the rears. Been a good stable tractor for the 16 years since.

So yea I understand fluid can rust and cause issues to a collector, but man if you use a tractor don’t be foolish about it.

Years ago when I was a kid and scrap metal was up there, I remember dad scraping 2 spreaders some what like that... Now I'm looking for one.. Around this general area they are not an easy thing to find, and most of em are rusted out pretty bad.SO if its in decent shape GO FOR IT..

WOW you still NEED LOTS OF SNOW...
 
They make cast and the nice thing about that it doesn’t ruin tubes and rims and it doesn’t go on the ground when the tire gets a hole in it . I could have bought 10 sets of cast weights for the tire repair bills I’ve paid because of fluid . I am no stranger to hills .
 
I understand.

I’ve had relatively few problems with the filled tires over the years, all in all.

Haven’t seen cast at least not common for NH/Ford 1720, 5200, 7700, or 960. And the 7700 fronts as well.

I’m sure it’s out there, but it’s rare around me. I do see a lot more Red and Green weights of many types over tge years.

If I could find better tubes I wouldn’t mind it quite as bad but it gets expensive At 200$ a pop that’s a set of weights and part of another one . I could kick my own a** if I had only known bought the first two sets of weights 80$ a set now there about 180$
 
We had one on the farm growing up I drug it out of the wind break that’s where grandpa kept all kinds of mysterious implements oh the fun me and my cousin had in that wind break anyway there was an old spreader like the picture except it was red I drug it out aired up the tires dumped some oil in the hopper and got the slide freed up I spread some fertilizer with it one time when I left the farm it got scrapped a long with my John Deere manure speeder I drug out of the same windbreak oiled it and Freed it up as well spread quite a bit of manure with it wish I had it now
 
Hate that stuff,, only in a couple things here anymore,, takes HP to get it rolling and keep it rolling,, and then the rust issue,, one thing I do like about it is it puts the weight at the bottom of the tire,, you will get all but 3-5 gallon out with your method which will help a lot,, only way i ever found to get it all out is remove the tube and install a new one,, my tire guy would pull on them with his pump until it sucked the tire in on its self, sometimes it pulled the beads in too that left more in if it did it,, cant even guess how many rims I have replaced for people, like on the "N" series Fords as they were so light they are about worthless unless some weight is added, they had a really nice axle mount weigh that should have came std on every one,, only seen one set in my life
 
A fellow YTer told me of a company in Texas that makes and sells weights. I bought some from Taylor Foundry tractor weights. Very satisfied.
 
Putting those weights on is not fun on the inside either. I put 3 weights on the inside of my 806 and 3 sets on the outside so a total of 5 weights on the one wheel. If I had put them on the outside they would stick out to catch things. The 5 of them also filled the width of the rim so anymore will have to be on the outside and stick out. 3 inside are about an inch from the axle casting. I like the wet tires better. This tire has been wearing a hole in thwe tube about every couple of years and if you change the tube it's a cost also. SO for now I drained the tire and put weight on. When I put new tires on it I'll probably put the chloride back in the tire again.
For the inside weight I had 6 halves so used them instead of pulling the casting off the axle. I also crossed them so the 4 bolts held them all instead of just 2 for each half.
 
That fertlizer spreader looks good inside. If it is froze up just flip it up and you can easily unbolt all the slides and clean and free them up. That one looks like a 14ft? I bought a LF 10 (ten ft.) last spring that even has grass seed on the rear. It was only used to plant oats and alfalfa. It has the grain agitator as well as the fertilizer ones. Tom

I have 2 sets on my 4020 they are 145 each I want to put 2 more on which should be just shy of 1200 pounds and then I want two sets on my 3020 Maybe a 3rd set on the 3020 because it pulls the little big baler
