On the subject of tire weight compounds--- does any one know if you can still get/use powdered red lead as a sub for calcium cloride ? ?
I forget the actual tire size but they were 26" wide and were over 8 feet tall mounted on a 500 Hough rubber tired dozer that I operated at Fall Creek dam in Or. for a year. Think abt 1963 ?
The tires (4) were loaded with red lead and when one blew it was a major red cloud disaster (Not the Indian Kind either) but no rim rust
problems. Think they held about 1000 lbs each.
Dont know if you can use it nowadays.
Any one else been around this process ? Oh by the way it had the same engine they used in Big Red the tractor the Williams boys in Mt. have /Had? with bigger injectors. John
