Leaking Rear tire

Posted by Doug Doughty on September 02, 2003 at 10:49:25 from (64.214.210.1):

I have a 1960 MM M5 with original tires (38-155 I think). The rear tires sidewalls are cracking and one is weeping calcium cloride. The other tires valve stem is leaking a tiny bit. I would like to do some light duty hobby farming on 5 tillable acres. I don't even have a plow or disk yet. What are my options?

How long might the weeping tire last? Could I add air to minimize sidewall tire flex? Replace the rear tires with tube or tubeless? Drain the calcium cloride and use them "empty" for a few years? Drill and insert new valve stems?
