Bad Tire

[SteveOh]

How do I get the CaCl out of my rear tires? One's leaking and ruining the rim. So I've got a bad tube then? What's it take to replace that? The rubber's still good.

Thanks for your counsel.

Send me an e-mail and I can send you a page from a 1935 JD-B owners manual that tells how to put it in. Reverse it and that will work to take it out. My self I use wiper fluid in my tires so as to stop the rim problem caused by the CACL

The only real good way to make sure you get all that junk out and clean the rims up is to break the tire down. Even if you have it sucked out by a tire man with a machine/pump you still got some sloshing around the outside of the tube and between the tire. this stuff will slowly take its toll on the rims.

take it in to a tire dealer and have them pump the calcium out them break your tire down and clean really good. use a wire brush and lots of water. also dont let the cal leak out on your shop floor it will break down the concrete. they have some new stuff out now that is bio degradable. and wont eat your rims up. when i was working with farm tires it was $0.70 per gallon to pump cal and $1.70 for the tire ballast. if you want to break the tire down your self use lots of lube dish soap works goodand take small bites and always start on the valve stem side and start right above the valve stem if you here things that sound like ripping back off ad get a smaller bite i have seen people try to dismount their own tires and pop the beed cords right out of the tire. if you need more help feel free to ask
