I have a 1992 Ford 5610 Series II tractor which is my main work tractor here on our Missouri farm. I recently noticed that I have some severe corrosion damage on the rim from most likely leaking calcium chloride. Just the rim to which the 16.9 X 30" tire is mounted is involved presently and think I can just replace the rim along with resolving the leak issue. The damage appears to be more then I want to try and save the rim at this point. Who and where is a good source for a factory correct rim which will bolt to the existing center be found or is that just a Ford/New Holland dealership item? I don't know what the offset of the existing rim is at present but believe it is a factory original as I bought the tractor in 2001 with less then 500 actual hours. I am thinking I can just remove the present rim and install a new one to the present center along with the necessary repair to the tire and/or tube to eliminate the continual on-going damage. Please advise if this is a bad assumption along with any suggestion as to a potential source for a new rim. Thanks much for your assistance in this matter as I want to get this handled over the winter before next years crops, Hal.
