Any good tire place that fills tires will have the CACL but if it where me I would use wipe fluid or beet juice instead because the CACL can/will cause problem if you get a leak. If you do go with the CACL I would also get new tubes just to be on the safe side. I have a tractor that has CACL in one tire and wiper fluid in the other and I can't tell the difference in the 2 of them.

i have a 851 NH roller 6wx 5.5 tall the only loader i have is on a 1949 H i have two sets of split rear wheel weights and the rear tires are full to the top with water and antifreeze still not heavy enuff in the rear(ask me about not being heavy enuff) so i added a saginaw three point and a hay spear to the rear just remember to pick up the rear roll first
 
Mike: Most tractor tire shops will fill tires with calcium chloride. You can buy it at most hardware stores for little more than cost of salt, however the equipment to put it in the tubes is the big cost. Last one I had done 30 years ago 16.9x38 and the tire shop filled it in half hour. You can run it in by graviety but it takes all day. Never put chloride in a used tube.

Calcium chloride worked best for guys wearing out a set of tires every 6-7 years. You drained it and no question, it was new tires and new tubes for the next fill up. The chloride from a quick flat from a tire puncture never hurt a rim. You washed the rim up, put it back together. The chloride that damaged rims was caused by slow leaks that lasted for years, adding enough air to keep going. Most of those leaks were caused by old valve stems. If you find tires lasting longer than 6-7 years, move stem to top, jack the tractor and change the stem, then replace the air.
