I have a Ford/Newholland 1920 I bought new in 1998. The dealer filled the rear tires with calcium when they preped it. In 2001, I noticed some liquid seeping from around one of the valve stems. This year, the liquid is a tan color and the first signs of rust are showing around the tire bead and valve stem. The valve stems are stainless steel and do not appear to be leaking. The leak appears to be coming from the tube and seeping out around the valve stem. However, there is no major loss of pressure in the tire. I keep 14 psi. in the rear tires, and even after sitting over winter 6 months, the tire pressure only dropped to 12 or 13 psi. Also, when I store the tractor for long periods of time I make sure the valve stems are on top of the rim and give them a blast of air to blow the liquid out of the valve. Now on to my question. Has anybody out there have an idea of a simple cheap pump to remove the fluid from my tires so I can remove the tires and repair the rust damage and refill with a noncorrisive ballast like Rim Guard? The tire dealers in my area want a small fortune to do this for me. I am particular about my tractor and it only has 140 hrs. on it. Any suggestions on how to save my rims would be appreciated.
Thanks. Darrell

Thanks for the replies. Just bought a Yanmar 2310D complete with the new paint. Hope the tractor is as good as the fresh Yan-Deere green coat. Got a Koyker loader with it which will help out with the lifting chores around the place and make it easier for the horse pen maintenance. Thanks again. Darrell

Looking to buy Yanmar or Shibaura 23-26 HP 4wd. Located in Eastern Washington and will travel NW/Idaho/Montana. I'm not interested in a fresh paint job, just a good tractor. E-mail me at barnes@bmi.net Thanks Darrell
