5/8 flat washer. Once again it's not If your rim will rust out from calcium filled tires but WHEN  ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| Yeah Its not that simple , theres about a 12 inch section that has been abused, thats why i need a piece of rim , not a washer |

Doug, you might check with your local welding shop. When I first started in the farm tire business, our local shop had the blank holes to weld in your rim. I had several done. Almost impossible to tell they had been repaired.

I had my local welding and fab shop fix holes that size on the rims of my D17 diesel. They welded in new metal and drilled a new hole for the valve stem. Put a little bit of body fill on the outside to smooth things out, primed and painted and you cannot see any evidence of any work or damage. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

| The rear rims I look at have a "pocket" for the valve stem to sit inside. It is stamped into the rim from the inside swelling it outwards. Hard to duplicate in my pea-brained way of thinking. |

| I patched one on the 170 using a piece from the WD that is beyond repair. After welding in the patch I then heated the area for the valve stem and used some flat stock as a form to hammer the shape. Then drilled the hole. Seems like someone here had die made? Not entirely sure |

Here's a thread I did last year; https://www.allischalmers.com/forum/rim-repair_topic167543_post1403468.html?KW=rim#1403468 Some of the pictures are missing. Here is one of the flat for the valve-stem. Heated the area and hit it with a 4 lb. hammer. Had it on the horn of the anvil at the time. Not perfect but did the job. Still have pieces I cut out of the junk rim to make patchs, would give you one if you want.  |
