I find the valve stems can be a typical problem, change out the core, or worse, fluid and tube after the stem breaks loose. If you could get decent tubes again, are there even any to be bought out there today that are any good?
The stability on hills that CACL liquid ballast provides is a great safety feature in these parts, I'd imagine though the alternatives are lighter per pound, would still work to provide the necessary stability to work safe on these hills. My Ford/NH 4630 has the rear tires loaded with CACL and the previous owner definitely did nothing to maintain the valves.
They have weeped CACL and I have been afraid to mess with them as I am not sure if they could have just had the cores changed out vs. totally failing. Time has passed and I must deal with these, likely go for new OEM rims to insure I have a good set once they are broke down, the tires being original and lots of tread, might just re-mount. They have the usual other kinds of wear, minor slices and scuffs.
I've done these tire repairs in the past, kind of foolish to let this go on top of what the original owner did, timely repairs or maintenance is the key and on another tractor, tires are loaded, no issues after repairs, even the darned valve stems have held.

Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
