Nick, There are numerous ways to repair a bad spot in a rim especially if the bad spot is limited to that area around the valve stem. what is harder to deal with is large rust areas caused from barnyard acids. The remedys posted are all good ideas, and if the affected area is from Calcium Chloride at and around the valve stem area, that is certainly worth trying to repair as opposed to buying new rims. As to your question as to why Calcium Chloride is used in the first place, the reason is simple and has been addressed in previous forums from time to time. Using Calcium Chloride obviously adds weight to the tractor, but more importantly, it is added as ballast, meaning that it lowers the center of gravity if the proper amount of fluid is added. If the tires were filled to the top, then that wouldnt accomplish the ballast effect, but if fluid is added to, if standing still, a level of just past the rim but below the axle height, the ballast is achieved. This is a steadying effect which is most important on hilly ground. On level ground, the benefit is that it provides maximum weight at ground level.
