I am changing the tires on my tractor and would like to know how many pounds of chloride should I have put into my AC Model B with 12.4-24 tires on 11" rims? Thank you for any help. |

Zero! It will just end up eating your rims. You shouldn't need any if you are not doing heavy fieldwork like plowing.

If you want chloride, make sure you have new or very good tubes. If you never have a leak you won't have rust problems. I have never changed a rim from rust. Make sure if you ever have a leak you wash it good, and repair the leak quickly. Make sure there are NO leaks at the valve stem. I had John Deere tractors with chloride and tubeless tires and no problems at all....James

Both guys have good points. NEW tubes are the only way I will consider putting the stuff back in. Slow leaks are the rim killers, you just keep airing it up every few months and before you know it the rim needs repair. If you don't need the weight I would not mess with it. Besides tillage it does make you feel more secure when mowing slopes, but it is that much more weight when it does rollover on you!

Thanks for the replies. What happened is my right rear tube sprung a leak, sending a mist of chloride throughout my garage. I thought I had managed to wash every, but did notice some rust on certain areas of my B. My plan was to replace both left and right rims with rims from a B made in the 50's because of the better inner hub locking system. However, due to money constraints, it looks like I will only be able to replace the rim that sprung a leak. I was trying to determine how many pounds of fill to put in the tire so that it matches the tire staying on the tractor, I don't want to create a tippy situation. I think I will look into beet juice or another form of fill, you guys bring up some very good points. |
