Loaded Tires weeping

[ditzel]

Tractor is 20 years old, I've owned it for 18 years came with filled rear tires. For a few years, i occasionally see Beet Juice weeping from the bead, have been unable to add air because the valves were fouled up and wouldn't take air. So today I finally got around to replacing the valve on both rear tires. Watched a few youtube vids on this, bought a bead breaker. It went good for a while, till rear bead let go and beet juice flowed down the driveway.

Broke bead to get backside of valve. Bead on back of wheel let go and just about all of the beet juice leaked out.

Wheels had some surface rust, so while i had them off, did some rust removal, prime and painted them with the Dark Grey thats on the newer Case backhoes, skidsteers and wheel loaders

@ditzel: about how long did this process take you?
I have the right rear on my Mahindra 2645Cab weeping; i think it is coming out the valve stem, which I heard happens as the beet juice interacts with the rubber gasket material used on the metal valve stems.
