Why NOT to put Calcium Chloride in your tires

[Diz Jr.]

papaglide,
I have my turfs loaded on the green tractor i have. But they have chains on year around. You would think it would help a little in the traction area. I am sure it will make it feel more stable.

Thanks RPalmer


T-Mo,
That looks like a nice pump. But the ones you can hook a garden hose up to the inlet and outlet make it really nice.

I fill the bucket with windshield washer fluid (or what ever you are going to use) Then my pickup hose to the pump. From the pump to the tire, going through the adapter.


Bought this drill powered fluid pump at the hardware store. Wasnt sure how long it would last, but it has filled 8 23x10.5-12 tires so far. It was less than $20.00


This is the adapter i use. It hooks to the end of the garden hose from the pump and hooks to the valve stem of the tire. You have to stop the pump every so often and let the pressure out . There is a little button valve on the side of the adapter.

So where would someone get their hands on a nifty little fitting like that??

I got the one in the picture from Gemplers. But i have seen them at NAPA and Tractor supply.

If you go to the tractor supply website, in the search box type 1170832. And it should show you the adapter.

I guess NAPA and TSC is the place for me.....never heard of Gemplers! Canadians EH!? :O)

Hey Mountain Heritage,
Just do a google search for Gemplers. They have a nice site and a lot of good stuff to look at. :biggrin2.gif:

If you go to TSC don't ask the kid there where that adapter is... He'll just look at you like you're stupid. Find the peg board with the valve stems and other such things on it, the adapter should be on the left side near the top...
