My rim has rusted around the valve stem so bad that it is cutting into my tube and causing a leak. I want to remove the rim this weekend, but have never done so, and wonder if the forum members have any suggestions or tricks that would help me do it? I also posted in the classifieds a need for a 18.4x38 rim so if you have one close to Indiana, let me know. My fall back position is to have someone weld it up for me. Thanks. ------------- 80 7010, 80 7020. 67 190XTD Series I w/500 Loader, AC 2000 Plow, Member Indiana A-C Partners, Member TAC |

First step is required regardless of the type of wheel, spin out or solid. I bought a 375 gal container($75) to save the methonal fluid in. Parked the tractor on a flat bank with the tank below. Valve stem at the bottom. It was a 6 ft drop. Bought a kit from Napa for the valve stem and connected a garden hose to it and then ran it into the tank. Several hours later most of it will be in the tank. Used a portable combressor to pump the tire up to get it over to the shop. I have spin outs, so i placed a jack under the rear axle and jacked it up so the tire was just off the ground. Had 2 friends hold the tire on each side as I removed the locks. Man handled the tire after that. Would be safer with a loader and a chain. I guess the other type wheel will be the same process now that I think about it. Reversed the process to put fluid back in the tire with the valve stem at top dead center. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

A good welder can easily repair the damage if the rest of the rim is good. I had mine repaired and you can barely tell it. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Thanks for the replies. I got the rim/tire off the tractor without incident. I was worried about rusty bolts but they all came off easily. Luckily I didn't have any fluid in it to mess with. Going to have the tire taken off the rim today and will look at Gary1967's used rim to see if I am better off with it versus having it welded. Hopefully, I will get it fixed by the end of the week. ------------- 80 7010, 80 7020. 67 190XTD Series I w/500 Loader, AC 2000 Plow, Member Indiana A-C Partners, Member TAC |
