People trying to stay away from calcium chloride fluid solution have every right to avoid it. Dad traded for my 1954 Super H in May 1968, Super H probably had CaCl fluid since new. About 1969 Dad and I put new tires on the back of it, used the old Firestone's as clamp-on duals to pull the planter with. One inner tube had 3-4 patches against the rim, but they looked solid so reused the tube. Flash forward about 42-43 years. Sunday afternoon in Febuary I go out to the shop to start the SH and clear the snow from Storm of the Century. Right rear tire is flat! It was the tube that had 3-4 patches on it, against the rim. When i finally got the tire off the rim couple months later the rim was a rusty mess. I sand blasted, primed, and painted both rims when I put new inner tubes in both tires. It wasn't the valve stem leaking. There was never any sign the tube was leaking CaCl, just all the rust inside the rim. That's gotta be some kind of record, owning a tractor 44 years without getting a flat tire.
I bet the insides of the rims on the '51 M look brand new yet, tractor has always been a loader tractor, never ever had fluid. Normally had 2 pair of IH weights.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
