Replaced the OEM Firestones with set of Carlisle All Trail tires on the 127. Each tire is loaded with 5 gallons of water and 8 ounces of dawn dish soap.

I used the water dish soap mix when I bought the tractor 15 years ago. As you can see in the pictures the fluid was murky and the rim is not rusted. I believe this to be dirt from the tire and paint removed from the rim. A sample was put in the freezer and it does indeed freeze solid.
