The local tractor developed flat in rear tire. I asked what kind of liquid, confirmed is CC.
As Uncle is 82, I don't expect this to be fixed before I can get to it /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif as such, it has become one of my next projects.
Much of this liquid has drained on the ground. I asked him (retired pharmacist) if there was any danger to ground water, he said he didn't think so, after all, there is already calcium in the ground, and the chloride part I didn't hear him... (hmm)
So, IS calcium chloride "dangerous" or will it get digested away as it soaks into the ground. It is too late for what ever the answer is by the way. I don’t care so much about the rim as I do the ground. The rim already has a hole eaten around the stem. Sadly, I have no clue if this hole is new (ie, is cc THAT quick to eat it?) or if that is maybe what rubbed the tube raw.
I was going to put tire in back of truck and take to co-op. I can't imagine NOT getting some of this liquid on the truck bed. Will this be bad for the bed? Just throw a tarp down?
Been trying to contact local co-op, no luck so far..I guess busiest part of day for them.
