I have a 1961 D-15 Hi-crop tractor (s/n: 3801). I am getting ready to purchase new 12.4-38 tires for my 38x11" rims (see photo). These are not the current wheels on my tractor. I'm trying to determine if I need to purchase tubeless or tubed tires. Are these rims compatible with tubeless tires? I'd prefer to go tubeless if possible. I am planning on sand blasting and painting the wheels before adding the tires. Thanks, Tom  ------------- 1961 D-15 Hi-Clearance |

If your rims are solid and not rust pitted from being fluid fill tubeless tires will work without problems. Give your rums a good close look after sandblasting before you repaint them and spot weld any holes that might appear. ------------- 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 |

check the hole size where the valve goes... Make sure you get a valve that FITS.. or you might have to drill the hole alittlel bigger.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
