: : : : : : : : : : : : As the resut of a tire repair, I nowI need to replace the calcium cloride mix in one of my 350 international tires . : : : : No one around here can tell me what product to use, the mix ratio, the amount to install, and most importantly, how to do the installation myself. : : I found this in the archives.If you are still interested, the procedure is as follows:First raise : : wheel off ground, remove stem & allow air to escape. Next a mixture of : : calcium & water mustbe PUMPED into the tube. The valve should be at : : 12:00 position. I used a small roller pump & it must be cleaned : : completely after each use! The amount of fluid depends on the tire/wheel : : size.Fill tube until whe water mix will run out when the wheel is : : rotated to 1:30/2:00 position. After filling tube/tire, add air pressure : : to 8 - 10 psi. : : If you give me your tire size I have a chart in my Oliver manual that has a mixture ratio. : : : : Can anyone out there help me with this back yard brain surgery project. : : : : Thank you : : : : larry thomas : : : Any shop that sells tractor rears and has a service truck should be able to help you. : The correct ratio is between 3.5 and 5 lbs of calcium to 1 gal of water. It DOES NOT have to be pumped in, I have siphoned it in many times. I helped a freind fill a 20.8-38 tire in about : 2 hrs by setting the barrel on the fender and siphoning it in.One thing someone above left out : is that you need an adapter to hook a garden hose to the tire valve-available at ag dealers or : NAPA. this adapter has ableed valve in it. when the tire gets hard clamp off your hose and press the bleed valve to let the air out. then unclamp the hose and let the solution flow again. If you call a tire dealer and give them your tire size : they can tell you how much calcium and water to put in.
