My D19 Allis had fluid in the rear tires for the 20 years that I owned it. In all that time, I never had to break one down, or had one go flat.
Last fall, one casing split, so I had two used rear tires mounted with new tubes, no fluid, just air. Last week, the left one was flat. Last Thursday, our local Coop came out and fixed it. The guy said whoever mounted it pinched the tube. I used the tractor on a shredder for an hour, and the left tire went flat over night, Friday night. Reported it to the Coop Saturday morning.
Yesterday afternoon, I walked past the tractor and the right rear was flat also. Same fellow from the Coop came out this morning and fixed both. Now, he said it was chips of rust on the rims from calcium chloride that cut the tubes. Said he took care of it.
We'll see what happens. If either goes down again, I think I'll have the Coop pull both tires off the rims completely, and take the rims somewhere and have them sandblasted. Then polish them with a DA sander and put several coats of automotive primer and enamel on them before mounting the tires again.
The joys of coping with this in 100 degree weather.
