Got my new tires for the CA restoration. The rims need a touch up. These are Galaxy R1 tires 12.4x24. The tire shop confused me some. One guy said I had a pinhole in the rim from the sandblasting. Then, another guy said they used tubes, so the hole isn't an issue. The tires have stamped on them "tubeless". If I had a pin hole, how quickly would they leak down? Both tires have held pressure for 24 hours now. I guess since I never SAW them mounted, I don't know if they actually have tubes. I got charged for tubes though! Can I tell from the valve stem? Anyway, I do like the tires! http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN6068_zpsx8jptckk.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN6066_zpszphfpugp.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

yes you have tubes in them. The plastic nut snugs up the stem... ------------- 1945 AllisCletrac / 1948 "B" / 1953 "CA" / 1955 "WD-45" / 1963 "D-15 Series II" "No Air Support without Ground Support" |

Thanks Andrew. Chris, the CA is in pieces right now. I had it sandblasted in pieces and I plan to finish up the paint soon. I bought good paint this time. I got sick and it slowed me down some. I got interested in Lionel trains too, so I've been diverted--albeit temporarily, from tractors. Trains are easier on the back too! I'll post up pics of the CA once I get her ready. I was selling her for $1900, now I've put an additional $1400 into her. She will have to stay now!

I also have a CA Allis and have an interest in Lionel trains. What size do you have? Just purchase a O Gauge. I have 12.4-24 on my CA and I think they look great.

Rog, Bob, I'm sticking with post-war O gauge. I'm learning about the trains--much to learn!!! Bob, if you want to sell your trains I might be interested. I sent you a pm.

Got the rest of the painting done today. I used Bed Liner on the floor. I think the 12.4 tires makes the stance more level now. I will get it reassembled tomorrow. http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN6073_zpsiwraigud.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN6078_zpsdyijagxh.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN6075_zpssmvgztfy.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN6079_zpsyhjpcdga.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |
