Showcrop, the last thing I want to do is start an argument here, but you are very wrong. In 1996, we sold a customer a new Massey 8150 tractor, only to be told it would be 4-6 months before it was built. We tranferred a tractor that was on a dealer's lot in the next state. When the truck showed up, the tractor wasn't on the lot, it was "out on demo", so the trucker had to pick it up at the farm. The farmer was mad that they were "taking the tractor he'd leased before the lease was up!" The dealer had filled the tubeless tires with calcium chloride, when the owner's manual clearly stated to install tubes when doing so. The 20.8R42 tires were ruined from being run in rocky ground. Our customer finally agreed to accept it, with a discount for the hours because he needed it, but only if the tires were replaced. We pumped the CaCl out, removed the tires, and the rims were already extremely rusty.
You say they need oxygen to rust, and you are right, but no tire is completely filled with liquid. The all run at least 25% air, and the last I heard, air still contained oxygen.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
