I have a IH 444. I went to check the rear tire pressure and what appeared to be water came out. Could this mean they are liquid filled and is it really water> There must be some anti freeze of some kind otherwise it would freeze. Can I drain them and fill with air?

You want the fluid in them if your doing that type of thing.

You most likely have CACL in the tires. It causes rust if you get a leak in the tube, and also kills grass and any other growing things so be careful if and when you drain it out. But you will also probably find if you drain it that you will not do as well with the tracor as you do now its there for weight and traction. If you do want to drain it find some place you don't want ny thing to grow for a year or 2 and drian it and then wash the rims off real good. Just pull the valve out and it will drain on its own

Thanks for the reply. I have a couple other questions. How much weight does the liquid add? Would chains work just as well in place of the liquid? If I choose to drain it, can I just refill with air?

Chains will not help other then in snow and then still not much with out the fluid. Figure each tire filled with fluid that the fluid will add 100-400 LBS depending on the size of the tire. Yes you can drain it and then fill it with air but if it where me I would leave the fluid in. It still has to have air in it also about 10-15psi per tire

I"ve always dislike chains. Liquid adds the weight and traction. Also, rinse off your tire pressure gauge as it won"t last you too long. CAlcium rusts everything.

How do you guys feel about polypropyl glycol in place of calcium chloride? I know it's not as heavy, but it doesn't kill things or rust them nearly as much. Pros and cons. I'm a newbie who found about the liquid filled tires the same way. Found out about the rust a week later. Too late for the rim studs. Just found out about the tire gauge when I tried to use it yesterday.

My self I use wind shield wiper fluid to fill tires. Isn't as haevy as CACL nut works well doesn't freeze if you get the right stuff and doesn't cost all that much. I'll if you want info on how to fill tires your self drop me an e-mail and I'd send you a page from an owners manual that tells you how to do it
