It's not the calcium in the tire that rots the rim, it's the calcium that ooor maintenance allowed to leak that rotted that rim. And it took 50 years to do it.

He's right. It isn't the calcium. It's the chloride.

i am curious as to what would be considered good or bad maintenance of cal filled tires other than prpoper air pressure and once they start leaking just remove the calcium commpletely;

Yes. They had 2 1/2 of rain but did cut some wheat this afternoon

Also Calcium Chloride by itself won't eat steel. It takes oxygen too. You have to diligently keep adding oxygen. It takes determination to ruin a rim with CaCl.

I see an I bolt for spacer mounted duals. Put the duals on for a quick end to those rims.

They don't rust if you fix the leaks as soon as they happen.

How hard is it to find rims for 50 year old tractors?

I have a 1950 and 1953 tractor. Glad no one put liquid rust in my tires.

I went to the BOS Brothers harvest show last Sept. I sold Kevin a #25 John Deere corn picker a few years ago. I was able to be the 1st one to pick corn with it until the rubber mounted fan came apart and into the radiator.

Nope just fix the tire when it starts leaking instead of running it for several years and keeping on airing the tire up as the fluid leaks out. Still have the original rims on the 53 H same rims on my 806 since I bought it in 1978, still same ones on 574 and MD since we bought them. The 574 was bought new 1972. So yup if you just keep keeping on it will rot the rims out. If you fix them when they start to leak they will last fine. They don't leak unless you run something in them or don't change the core out occasionally. like about ever 3-5 years change the core and check for a leak when you do.
