"there are plenty of options other than to use CaCL"

Yes there are and many are less corrosive.

None that I know of that equal the weight of CaCl though.

I've dealt with a lot of rusted out rims and I have to agree with

Showcrop and Caterpillar Guy, all of them I've seen were leaks

that were ignored and not fixed. My '53 JD has the original rims

and they are still loaded with CaCl. In tubes of course.

They don't leak and they have never rusted.

These Ford PA rims came on a tractor I bought a while back.

The seller told me his grandfather bought it new.

Grandfather, father and the seller all just added air when needed.

None of them fixed the leaks.

First picture is external view when I looked at them.

Obviously still holding air and look "Ok" but the metal was "soft".

Second is after I took the tire off and hit it with a needle scaler.
