I have a WD-45 that I started pulling with in the antique/classic 4500 class around home. The rear tires are loaded and the tractor weighs 4480 with me on. Engine is newly rebuilt to factory specs. What do you recommend for air pressure in the rear tires? Also is it better to drop the calcium and use wheel weights instead? The rims are starting to rust pretty good and I'll probably change them over the winter. Thanks.

I run about 8# in unloaded tires (13.6x28) on my WC. Dad convinced me to run without the chloride. "Run as light as you can, then weight-up..." I guess our parents sound wiser...the older we get.
