I need some suggestions. I need to remove the fluid from the tires from my tractor. I live in town and can not let the fluid run out onto the ground. what means is there that I can do myself to remove the fluid. I know that I will have to haul the fluid away to dispose of it but that is not a problem.

Thanks a ton for you suggestions.

We take the fluid out all our antique tractors. We do so by driving the tractor up on a block or two on the side you want to drain. I use a peice of black plastic line, sort of looks like a vacuum line, and it fits tightly over the valve stem. I remove the core and put the other end in a 55 drum. The weight of the tractor pushes it out and if you align your blocks correctly so that they end up between the outsides of the rim you will get a large portion of the fluid out. It may be necessary to add air 2 or three times as sometimes the tube gets pinched and fluid gets trapped. I have been able to get as much as 75 gallons out of an 18.4x34 using this method. The best part is you walk away and do something else in the meantime.

I don't know where you live but the federal EPA regulations stae that calcium chloride is classified as a Hazardous Material and requires a $35 to$50 fee for disposal and an additional amount to pump out the tire. I have several tractors with loaded tires and when I have tire work done the tire shop charges me about $90.00 to unload a tire and re-load it. Do not try and do this yourself because if you get caught transporting it without a permit the fine is $5000.00 and inprisonment along with confiscation of vehicle.

I'll have to look when the shop comes out to switch a couple of tires for me. But I don't remember seeing a HAZ MAT placcard on the tire truck.

The EPA also tells us here in Minnesota that salting the roads is fine in winter, but gravel is a hazzard & we had to cut back on the gravel used in winter.

Really.

And in Wright county you cannot bury rock foundations of old buildings because it is bad for the environment. Rock and concrete need to be sent to a recycling outfit. Apparently rock in dirt is bad.

Dispose of?????

Call the ag tractor folks in your area, they will use it - the stuff has value, they might come get it for free at least. Pump it out themselves.

well, if they use liquid de-icer on your streets in the winter, they are already dumping what's in your tires on the ground (calcium chloride).

You can drive it to your local tire shop, and have them pump it out an dispose of it... it won't cost that much to have it done.

Easy way is the get a drill pump the adaptor for the valve stem and a 55 gallion drum. Pump the fluid in to the drum and haul it to where you can get rid of the fluid, its slow but onlt cost about $25 for the whole set up and as long as you rinse out the pump and drum they will both last a long time.
