What is the salty mixture that is in my rear tires?
Hi,
What is the liquid that is in at least the one rear tire on my 129? Over the years I've corroded more than one air jack trying to add air in the rear tires. Today, though, I tried to add air and noticed that the stem was completely corroded. I managed to drill out most of what was in there, and then drained out most of the liquid. It is HIGHLY salty. Is it at all something to be concerned about as to where it drains? I'm pretty sure my garage has a french drain and hoping that this stuff didn't go into the septic tank. Another question - even though the tire says tubeless I'm pretty sure there is a tube in the one that has the liquid, being that while working on trying to drill out the stem the entire thing moved inwards, behaving much like a stem on a tube. Were tubes used in those instances where people wanted to add this salt mixture? What is the purpose anyway - for additional weight? I'm taking the tire to the garage for repair but probably better warm them about the stuff that is in there. The other rear tire (I think anyway) does not seem to have liquid in it. At least I didn't notice any when replacing the valve stem and adding air. Thanks for any thoughts or advice. Keith

Were you drinking it?
How do you know it's "salty"?

Had the tube removed at the garage - put in new stem and pumped up to 20 lbs. I see that the owner's manual calls for only 8 lbs in the rear? Should I lower it back down to that? It's possible that there might be leaks, so we'll see now that there is no tube in. I'm pretty sure the other tire has the liquid in also - is there a problem with one tire without and one with? And..yeah..I tasted a very small quantity of it from a cup just to find out. It was pretty nasty..spit it out rather quickly. Not my beverage of choice. Next step is to buy 2 new tires if this one is not holding air. I assume the other side also has a tube in it. I wouldn't think the sodium chloride solution would work well without a tube (?)

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
