Hi
Not sure yet if I do or not, but it's possible the tire place is not going to be able to repair the rim on the big back wheel of my IH 2444. I'm wondering what the chances are that someone here has an old dead 2444 or 444 that has intact rims that can be bought cheaply. The place on the rim I hod noted as rust turned out to be bare tube showing through, ewww. They took it to try to weld it, the last I heard they couldn't weld it and were looking for a new or used rim for me, and then no contact. I called and left a message, no reply (possible they are out of town.) So they might have it under control, might not. Just wondering if I have other options.
Anyone within 6-8 hours drive of Springfield, MO have a dead 2444 or 444 they are parting out? Inquiring minds want to know....
