I got ag tires put on my 2410 by the dealer when I bought it.
they charged me $200.00 dollars to have the tires filled and assured me they would use non-caustic fluid.
by the end of the first season they were signs of rust appearing around the valve stems. beginning the 3rd season, (may) there had developed a steady leak from one on the tubes with the air/fluid coming out of the valve stem hole when you wiggle the valve stem.
I am wondering if anyone has found, or had installed, tubes with metal stems similar to the larger machines?
also, what kind of fluid do I have to get so as to not rust out my rims from leaking tubes?
I have been away from home working for the last couple months so I just put the tractor in the shed with the valve stem to the top of the tire thats leaking the worst.
any ideas for best solution to this problem? 2 1/2 years out of a tube just isn't good enough.
