| That looks great and quite a lot of Rims there! I've wondered about having rims re-galvanized vs. painting with aluminum paint. |

That looks like the start to a field full of amazing orange treasures. Just picturing all the options of what that many rims might fit.... Did you need a certain number of rims to make up a batch run? I have wondered about getting a set or two rims done myself. |

| They look even better mounted. Mind sharing how much per rim to have galvanized in a group like that? Did you have to any prep before sending? |
Posted By: DennisA (IL)
Date Posted: 29 Sep 2016 at 3:28pm

$30.00 per rim. No prep needed unless rims are painted. If painted you must remove the paint before getting them galvanized. They give rims an acid bath before galvanizing. The acid Bath removes all the rust. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

| How long does it take them to do a batch? |

Well you still have to get them blasted just not painted. |

| That is very cool do you know about how long the galvanized rims hold up? I know they all came galvanized or nickel plated I think on the farmall. The farmall h I have was bought new in 50 but as long as I can remember say early 80s it has been just 100 percent rust brown so I don't know how long to expect the galvanized rims would last |

The first batch was 16 years ago and still no rust.
The CA sits out side 95% of the time.

there site says a thin flash coating of 1 mill will last 10- 20 years... The heavy 4 mill coating will last 60- 80 years ......... you get thicker coating on larger sheets, thin coating on wire or bolts. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| 80 years hoe much to coat the entire tractor. ..... |

| I'd pay $30 a rim any day to have rear rims done. They look good and would last a long time. That's a good deal. I bet it helps when you can get that big of a batch together. |

Here is a picture of the rim on my CA that was done 16 years ago. Even the power shift rails are rust free and I slide them in and out a lot . http://s161.photobucket.com/user/caallis/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsrwsnls2c.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

Why sand blast when they dip them to remove the rust. Only paint needs removing so you spray the wheel with oven cleaner let it set for a bit and then hose or power wash off. Al

Dennis, That's the way to go. Were there any places where the zinc did not cover? |
Posted By: DennisA (IL)
Date Posted: 02 Oct 2016 at 12:08pm

Zinc coverage was really good. With the exception of The areas of the room that had heavy rust. Those areas are really porous which holds in the acid from the acid bath. Those areas want to weep out acid during the galvanizing process and leave blemishes on the surface. This is why we sand blast the rims so the acid has more of an even surface. The worse the rust is on the rims the more defects you will have on the surface after galvanizing. http://s161.photobucket.com/user/caallis/media/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zps7lwpnke0.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">

My rear Galvanized rims were used when I got them, but I know the sprinkler system that they came off of was installed before 1978. No rust on them, however my rims were custom built and then galvanized, so no previous rust to worry about, or need to sandblast. They are all dipped into a hydracloric acid bath because the acid gives the metal a little bit rough edge for the zinc to adhere to. Hotdip is also better because the zinc causes a chemical bond with the steel, instead of just applying a coating. David from jax ------------- A proud member of the Allis Express movement!
