In Reply to: Fluid In Tires Question posted by bowhunternw on September 02, 2017 at 15:10:21:
The worst thing is fluid filled tires that have tubes in them. The tube leaks an then fluid gets between the tube and rim. This will rust them out fast. I have some tractors with fluid in them. I have them all mounted tubeless. Then fill the tire up over the rim with fluid. Without oxygen the fluid will not rust the rims. One JD 4020 I have has had the tires loaded for 35 years on tubeless tires/rims. Just replaced the tires this last year. The rims where in perfect shape inside. The area outside of the water valve/stem had some surface rust but nothing else.
So on an older tractor that you need the weight of the fluid on I would take the tubes out and mount them tubeless. You will have much less rust troubles.
