Windshield Washer is Poisonous. It says on the bottle can cause blindness. I don't think any of these liquids that are made to not freeze, are good if swallowed. I hope never to have to worry about leakage. Also looked at cost, and whether it was likely that it would rust my wheels. Many people have used this stuff for those reasons.

It looks like your boys did a good job splitting all that wood.

What size tire did you get the 15 gal. into?

My 15 - 19.5 R-4's took 30 gal. each when I filled them with Windshield Washer fluid. Figured roughly 250# each tire.

12-16.5 R4's for my TC21D. I figured 15 gallons in each to be about 150-160 LBs. Sound right?

 

[beenthere]

Probably need to figure 8# per gallon, as it will be close to the weight of water. Maybe around 120# per tire.

Beenthere, You're probably right, I did figure it that way, but my cousin the tireman said more like 150#. Either way it helps a lot for loader work. Kent

I notice them 3 in front of the wood pile lookin like they helped, did they stack it, or do they fetch it into the house for you?
My hunch is they lay in front of the stove and watch you carry the wood in.
