Another rim ruined by calcium, Im gonna get this rim fixed like I did the other side, and have something else put in both tires besides calcium, this tractor is a 1994.
 
ya but that dont happen unless u neglect the valve stems. they should be changed every 3-5 years is my experience and no problems.
 
That's exactly what I do to my Ford 5000 with calcium. 3 years I change the valve steams. I watch them very close for any sign of leaks over that 3 years.
 
I have a massey 135 that my dad bought new in 1966. Has always had calcium filled tires. Still has the original rims still in good condition. Depends on how you take care of them. Can't let em leak.
 
You are correct. I just bought it a few months ago. Nobody took care of the rear rims before I got a hold of it. They were to far gone.
 
rear tubes are 2 parts, the valve and then the stem. If you get new stems, they already have valves in them.
 
It's not the calcium chloride doing the damage it is the maintenance not getting done causing that. Dad's H has the original rims with chloride in them . One just got drained in the last year for leaks new tube and just didn't load it since it is just a putter tractor anymore. If I need a bigger tractor I go get one out of the shed.
 
I remember now,I was thinking of a car tube, I thought I changed them in the past, but apparently I didnt do them enough, or it was on one of my other tractors,
 
get the valve to the top block the tractor up on that side, unscrew valve, screw in new one, air up tire, remove block, drive away. wash off calcium.

Yep. My grandfather bought a Ferguson new in 1952. Still has the original wheels that have been loaded since new or shortly after. It is on it's second set of tires and tubes with zero wheel rust out.

Exactly!! If you never put that stuff in, it will never be a problem.
 


Dealers have been loading new tubeless tires with calcium for what? Twenty-five years since radials came out? Time to look elsewhere for the cause of rims rusting away, LOL!
 
Have replaced the tube now in both rears of my 24 year old loader tractor. Rims were still good with minimal rust. Valves stems went in both. Did one side of my 37 year old field tractor this spring. Valve stem broke but both original rims on that tractor. I with the guy who said just stick the fluid back in and plan on doing it again in 2047. Doubt I will be around in 2047.
 
"Come on" , as Joe says, if tubes don't leak, no calcium will ever reach rims! Just don't allow leaks. Really simple. Not the calcium, but the leaks!
