Matt thanks for the reply. I hadn't thought about unseating a bead. That would make sense. I don't have any of my filled tires with tubes in them, but maybe I'll start.

jbollis, none of my tires have Calcium in them. I refuse to use that stuff. Like you said, it eats rims. All of my tires have "Rimguard" in them. It's made from beet juice, biodegradable, freezes at -40 degrees, and weighs 11 pounds per gallon, plus non-corrosive. Also it's approved as animal feed. If I spring a leak and loose my fluid, it won't hurt anything. That's why I haven't been using tubes.

I'm also using rimguard with no tube since it's harmless.

I wouldn't even put CaCl2 in a tube...Dad's Farmall B has one tire with the stuff in it, in a tube, and the rim is junk.

As far as weights go . calcium chloride is about 11.8 pds per gallon. And rim guard is ( per there web site ) 10.7-11 pds per gallon. The problem with rimguard is finding a dealer close enough. And the calcium will only hurt your rim if it leaks. Problem is tubes tend to stick ( seal ) themselves to the rim, making it hard to tell when they leak. It only takes alittle calcium to do allot of damage to steel.

I added the washer fluid to my 23x10.50-12 tires Saturday. The chart claims that 7 gallons would fit. Maybe this is so based on total volume, but the best I could do was 4.5. the tire was mounted with the stem at 12:00. Tubes were in the tires and they were brand new and hence, a little stiff. Anybody ever get more than that amount in a tire? How did you do it?

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.
