Well took my Farmall in to shop and notice a lot of fluids coming from the rear of both tires so ........ Decided to drain them out and notice it was a blue color ? Like window wash fluid ? Anyone know of the different methods used ? I know of the calcium chloride as I have a Oliver that had one rim eat up with it but anyone know what the blue stuff is?
 
Yeah what it looks like had it all over my shop floor kinda grease and stick when I was clean up I noticed that the valve stems weren't rusty or eAt up bad so must be the washer fluid. My Oliver tractors has calcium CC in them and there just about eat up in and around valve stems that stuff kinda nasty to deal with! /:
 
I have been on Y-T for 16 or so years now and I have said it many many many time to use wiper fluid in tires winter grade. Maybe some one listened to me
 
I tried. The year I did mine, the price jumped from 97 cents a gallon to 2.99. 110 gallons would have been prohibitive. I decanted and filtered used antifreeze. Good results so far.

Yes on ww fluid. I used RV water line protector this time on my 25 hp Branson. Got it on sale and that worked out real well.

Last time I did this was on a larger tractor and I used regular el-cheapo anti freeze. Had the local multifunction tire shop guy come out and do it as I didn't have the adapter. He put 6 gallons of AF to 50 gallons of water for my area which is seldom below 20F and when it is it's unusual for it to be very long. Said it could slush up but wouldn't hurt anything on a tubeless tire.
 
I bought a 55 gallon barrel of -20 washer fluid for this tractor last year. Had to add about 5 gallons of water to each tire to top off. Worked great! Paid $1.35 a gallon for the fluid at O'Riely's.
