Cleaning up this rim center to repaint it and noticed this gouge.
Not a big deal, I was just wondering what may have caused it.
It had MANY layers of paint over it, and was rusted in the original coat.
If it were a concentric circle I would assume possibly something
sticking out from the tractor with the rim mounted dished out.
But as you can see, its nearly circular most of the way around but not a perfect circle.
Its also too deep/sharp to be just a chain hanging down/swing type of rub.
By the end of the weekend I'll have it all fixed up and never see that scratch again,
so this isn't something I absolutely have to have an answer to, I'm just curious.
Anyone have an idea as to what may have caused it?
Is it about the right distance to be pie weights?
