Find a real tire shop, and don't give that guy any more of your business. Any decent tire shop can handle it for you.

Good advise here, but I'd look for a better tire shop!

Service truck just left, put fluid in the 1720, and took out fluid, new tube & tire, & replaced fluid on the 960.

all depends on how bad you want it out. last i removed i used a pecan limb about 6" long and 2" in diameter. of course the tire shop charged about 350 $ to fix.

I have done this. Make yourself a hose with a fitting that will fit the valve stem of the tube and the other end should have a valve stem attached. Jack up the wheel you want the fluid out of and turn the wheel so the valve stem is at the highest position. Often tires are not filled more than this and you will be able to let the air out of the tire. If it is filled past this point it will be a little messey as you will have to get the valve out and the stick the hose on with the other in the vessel you are going to put the fluid in. You are really not supposed to dump this on the ground but it's the same thing (calcium chloride) they put on gravel roads to keep the dust down so I think if you slop a little it won't hurt anything. OK, so now you have the air out of the tire with no valve core in the stem. Put a valve stem cap on the far end of the hose and turn the wheel so that the valve stem is in the bottom (lowest) position. Now remove the valve cap from the far end of the hose (this is the end you will put in the vessel you are going to transfer the fluid to) and fill the tire again with air. The air will force the fluid out through the hose and into the holding tank. Take the jack away and let the tire go flat as the fluid is forced out. Do not over inflate, you only need enough pressure to force the fluid out and you will have to reinflate the tire two or three times as the air displaces the fluid. This will not get "all" of the fluid out but most of it. You can get more out following this procedure by removing the tire and rim from the tractor and laying it on the ground with the stem down and raising the side of the tire opposite the stem off the ground an appropriate amount so the fluid drains to the stem side of the tire. Use the same procedure as above with the hose and air. This will get all but less than 2 gallons out of the tire. If you want the rest out you can now take of the tire and pull the tube out and drain the remainder. A bit of a procedure but it works well. I usually attach the hose then drop the tire on the ground right away but handling a full tire is very dangerous as if it is allowed to lean over there is no way you are going to retrieve it. A loader is good for handling a full tire of fluid. If you get the fluid on you hands have a pail of clear water to wash them off in and be sure to wash down any metal parts that get the fluid on them. As you know calcium chloride is very caustic to metal but will do no harmif properly rinsed.

I use a diaphram type pump,air operated. I pump as much out through the air water valve as possible, then I use a home made piece of tubing with a hose adapter brazed to it that will fit inside the air/water valve and suck out the remainder. This will get all but about 1 pint or so. If you are experiencing rim damage due to calcium leakage, your only recourse is to completely dismount the tire/tube,repair the rim wash out the tire and go back with a new tube.

The best way I find to drain calcium is to use a drill pump. You can pick them up at your local Princess Auto or parts store. The only problem is that many times the hose that comes with the pump is much to large to fit in the valve stem. So what you have to do is make an adapter by fitting smaller and smaller pieces of hose inside one another until the desired thickness is reached. Then jack the rear of the tractor up and rotate the tire until the valve stem is at the bottom. Rear tires should not have more than 8 or 10 pounds pressure so taking the check valve out is not a problem. Once the check valve is removed slide an appropriate size hose onto the valve stem and drain the fliud ito buckets. The fluid will be forced out by gravity so don't worry. Once the fluid gets to the height of the valve stem you insert your drill pump hose in until it reaches the bottom of the tire. Pump until you have removed all the fluid and the job is complete.

I repair or replace tires on hard to remove wheels such as a 1586 IH, without removing them from the tractor. Stop with valve stem at the bottom, when the water starts to run slow, refill with air.
