Hi Folks, ive got Calcium Chloride running /dripping out from the "Base" of the valve stem on my rear tractor tire.
Dealer tells me I likely have a nail (had a nail) and the base of the valve is the only place for the Liquid and air to escape. (ive looked for and can find no evidence of a puncture)
Seems to me more like the base of the stem has ripped /torn/worn thru.
if the vavle is positioned at the bottom of the tire, its literally running out in a steady stream. If i rotate the wheel to the top, i can slow it to a Drip. Tells me the stem has failed
if I wiggle the stem at all, it squirts out like a hose
what are your thoughts?
