Had to do a little rim repair on the WD45 diesel I purchased a few months ago. First time trying to do this type of repair and it turn out very well. Painted the rims with a Rustoleum primer and topcoated with Rustoleum Hammered silver. Installed new tires. Slowly going through the tractor to ensure everything is operational, changing all fluids, flushing out fuel tank, new filters etc... Will provide pictures once back together and running. Tom
