For the amount it would cost I would get your local tire dealer to pump out the fluid.This way you don't have to worry about the disposal of the fluid if you don't want to keep it.

It only cost me between $75-100 to have the tire company come out and pump out the fluid. the rest that's in there I'm not too worried about. Gonna replace the tires in a few years anyway.

I would suggest replacing the tubes since you are going to all the work to dismount. The fluid will rust the rims in time.

When I took the fluid out of mf MF35 tires, I took it to a tire shop. I arranged for them to remove the rear rims and tires after draining the fluid.

Then I asked them if I could leave it sitting there for a couple of days while I took the rims home to clean them up and paint them.

Then I had them put new tubes in and re-mount the tires. I didn't want any trace of the calcium chloride left to eat up my rims.

If you aren't concerned about saving the water that comes out, then overinflate them with air, roll the tractor until the valve is on the bottom, and then remove the valve core. Air pressure and the weight of the tractor will cause the water to shoot out in a steady stream. Stand Back!

Saving tires or not?

No?

I took a recip saw and sawed big chunks of my tire/tube off so as to get at the wire retaining bead so I could remove the old tires/tubes. Once the holes were cut, one could dip it out or pump it out.

Your farm tractor tire supplier has a pump and adapter that can be used (by him) to get it out which is what he does when he renews your rubber. Removes it from the old, pumps it into a couple of 55 gal drums and pumps it back into the new ones if you want it.

Saving the tires, trying to save the rims. For the amount and type of work that I have in mind that my 44 will be doing, I think I'll be able to get by with just the solid weights that are also on the tractor. I'd rather not have to buy new tubes but I would like to be sure that all the fluid is out.

Thanks,

Robin

The only way to make sure you get all the fluid out is to have ot pumped out, then broken down and drain the tube. If you don't care that all of it is out ,then just pull the valve core housing out and catch the fluid as it squirts out.Make sure the valve stem is at the bottom, that way you get most of the fluid out.

Is it possible to drain enough of the fluid out by removing the valve stem to allow the tire to be dismounted so the tube can be removed and fully drained?

Seems like if I take the rim off and lay the wheel over almost flat horizontal with the valve stem at the lowest point I should be able to get all but the last couple of gallons, true?

Getting the rim off the tractor and laid over is no problem. Getting the tire peeled off the rim is no real problem although it's definitely not something I'm looking forward to. Just never had to cope with a fluid filled tire before. Thanks very much for all the advice so far.

Thanks

Robin

I use the previous method of air and the valve stem on the bottom only I parked the tractor on a 4x6 on the gravel road. After, I removed the tube and got the last of it out.

That sounds like the plan then. Thanks all for the help. This first time tractor owner surely appreciates it.

Well, first time tractor owner, don't mean to burst your bubble, but if you don't have the proper tools, you'll never get those tires off the rims. That's why I sawed mine off and still took over 2 hours and every tool in my toolbox to prise the wire bead off the rim. The wheels are usually rusty and it really impedes your ability to get the rubber to move.

It's not like breaking down a tubeless tire off your car I assure you.

Thanks txblu. First time tractor owner, not first time heavy equipment mechanic. ;) Not that I'm exactly what you'd called thrilled about having to dust off some of those tools again...

Here"s a little trick if you have a frontend loader just take tire off after you drain and place under edge of bucket away from the valve stem. Then press down it should break the bead off the rim then turn over and do the same to other side.Then use bars to take tire off starting with the stem side .Then after you get that side pull tube out and finish taking the tire off. PS Always start removing tire at the valve stem if you don"t you might rip it off. you learn these things if your dad is a tire man.he"s retired now but knows lots of tricks.

Another way to break the bead is to remove the tire, place it under the brake drum andlower the tractor so the drum hits the tire right next to the rim. The weight of the tractor will break the bead. Use a hydraulic jack and you can stop the tractor once the bead is broken.
