Trusty Rusty Tractor
New User
Hey,
My uncle has a 1931 Case Model L that's been parked for quite awhile due to the back rims have rotted. It was originally on steel but placed on a matching set of Firestones in 1947. It still has those tires
on it. We've wanted to get this tractor up and moving again but we fear if even if we torch the rims off the spoke wheels, those tires have been on there so long, we'll wreck them trying remove
them......Would anyone know where to find good old firestone's with vintage tread pattern - if they even exist at all anymore.....and how much it'd cost to replace the tires and rims all together? I don't
remember the tire size but it was something like 15 x 30 or 18 x 30......I will try to include some pictures of it from about 10 yrs. ago and when he had it all shined up and considered selling it.
We also pondered the notion of putting it back on steel. But, does anyone know where the best place to look for a set would be and how much a pair or rear steel currently goes for?
