The best way to control a problem is to get rid of it. In the nuclear, aviation, public safety, manufacturing etc. If there is a less dangerous substitute material, it is used.Accidents, leaks, spills and messes will always occur. What do you want? Something lethal/corrosive or something with low toxicity and benign. Rather than always fighting an anti corrosion battle plus knowing there is going to be one na$tey rusting paint eating mess should there be a tire failure. Instead of always having to look over your shoulder to keep from getting bit in the backside. Just get rid of what maybe sneaking up on you. Just enjoy the peace of mind of cheap washer fluid diluted 1 to 3 or 4 to water. You know the rims are going to last and you won't be service item in the future. Who can stand there with a straight face and say over the live span and all the operating costs of a tractor. You can even see the cost difference between filling with calcium or filling something non corrosive. You certainly won't be paying for rims. I just had a tire spray calcium chloride between the rim and valve stem last Friday. I'll know Tuesday what kind of a me$$ lies hidden inside the rims. The barrel of alcohol is here waiting already to mix and re-fill. You can't take a tire valve of any age and make it seal 100% against a salt solution. The salt crystals prevent a 100% seal. I wonder when white table sugar is so cheap. How many pounds of sugar would keep 100 gallons of water from freezing hard at 0F?

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
