Unless it has been contaminated, Calcium Chloride will be clear, similar to water. Most wind shield washer/RV anti-freeze I have seen is colored a light blue, orange etc. Calcium Chloride will taste very salty, just wet your finger and touch it to your tongue. Be sure to have a glass of drinking water handy, to get the taste out of your month.
Once you have the tractor tire jacked up and the valve stem at 12:00 position, you can pump the fluid out and save it for reuse. I use a 12 volt, 1 GPM diaphragm pump and pump it into a 55 gallon plastic barrel. A length of 1/4" OD copper tube should fit through the valve core; be sure the tube is long enough to reach from the valve stem and touch the opposite inside wall of the tire. Use plastic or rubber tubing from the "copper straw" to the pump and from the pump to the storage barrel.
Turn the pump on and rotate the tire from the 12:00 position to the 1:00, 2:00 position until the pump begins to draw liquid from the tire. Simply follow the fluid level until you reach the 6:00 position. By following the liquid level, air is allowed in through the clearance between the copper straw and the valve stem and the liquid will not leak out. Once at 6:00, position the straw to find the last of the liquid just as you used to do with your milk in grade school.
To fill the tire, position the tire at the 12:00 position and fill to your desired level. Typically tires are not filled above the 12:00 position.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
