Please don't mention the calcium in tractor tires anymore.  That *(^$#%^ stuff is costing me 3 rims.  Two on our H & one on our M.  Fortunately they aren't unobtainium.   
 
If you need fluid in your tires use windshield washer fluid or permanent antifreeze mixed for as cold as you care about.  Won't corrode the wheels off the tractor.
 
BTW if they were full (to the top of the rim) then you paid for way more than 400 lbs of extra weight.  I est that each tire will hold about 9 cu ft of fluid to the top of the rim.  Say it weighs the same as water, that makes the weight about 575 lbs/tire.   Sorry 'bout that.

says no. I am not selling my IH and I am not even going to consider letting
the H go. I dragged that thing in and out of a 4' drainage ditch with the
Scout to rescue it from a thief. I drove to Michigan and payed to have it
trailered back to Alabama and wasted gas money on an extra 300-400#s of
weight due to the rear tires being filled with sodium _____. LOL.

---Even in my present fine financial state, I wouldn't sell either one of my
IHs. They have a sort of semi-mental value to me. Besides, the Scout is just
having a temper tantrum because I was paying more attention to the
Ditchfinder. I am sure that if I get physical with her some more, she will
forgive me and we will be back to our normal relationship... unless she is
upset because she wants to move back up North. Then it will be at least 3
years before she will be happy again.

---Glad to hear that Eldon is doing well.
