I figured we had highjacked Plane Bart's thread enough so I thought I'd post a pic in a new thread.
These are the rims I showed photos of earlier.
I just shot the color on them.
I hope you guys don't mind a little Buff (yellow).
To me they're all Fords and I'm sure there are others here who think the same.

Those look sharp.

Turned out real nice, almost a shame to get them dirty!
If they're on your tractor though, I'm sure they'll get used.
Tractors aren't much good if they just set around!

I would have removed the old valve stems before painting. Paint and rubber don't co-exist well.

Good eye.
I was loathe to cut them off, which is the only way to get them out.
I sandblasted them too.
Maybe they'll work for a while...
A guy might be able to replace these by just breaking the bead on one side.
I agree about paint and rubber.
I didn't paint the tires

I just use a pocketknife to cut the "bulge" off the end of the valve stem that's inside the rim. Then I insert the new one into the hole and screw a 4-way tool on the threads where the cap goes, put a little dish soap on it and pull it into place. They can in fact be replaced by breaking one bead loose.

Well said Royse.
Tractors are kind of like a horse or cow in a brand new barn.
Gonna get it dirty...
Howdy1960, Thanks -

Now you and Donovan have something in common.
They called him mellow yellow too!

they look great
no worries on hi jacking my post either I am looking for it right now while at work of course nothing to do again today
I have been out of town for a funeral
missed the woodworking tool show/ sale I wanted to unload a table saw and a bunch of Stanley Bailey hand planes but worse I missed the mud bog
I should of put them in the van and I could have mounted them while getting paid the guy who works with me owes me for breaking down and remounting his 38" TSLs
it took a while getting the balance beads off my shop floor after we were done they will make you slip right quick when you step on them.
