I believe that to be calcium chloride.
 
I have an E-12, did a frame-off restoration. Dozer blade and front mower.
The mower courtesy of Bill Gunn who I can only say good things about.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet on the list, but my E15 has "loaded"
rear tires. I'm not sure what's in there, it looks like a milky liquid,
since the PO did it. I used to run full size tractors and loaded tires were
used for some applications and the correct liquid does not rust the wheel
rim or freeze. I have seen neither of these happen with my wheels so I'm
assuming the correct liquid was used. 
This fall I flipped my tires around for more chain clearance (thanks to the
list, didn't know you could do that) and the tires were quite heavy,
probably 40-50lbs 

Oh and for the registry I have an E15AD, working snowblower, non-working
mowing deck.

The wheel weights from my old (1971) Sears Suburban 12 HP riding mower, fit
perfectly on my E14. There is even a cutout for the valve stems.
