Yup. Bondo and Duct Tape.

Got that rim I got from Lisa on it now.

And yes this time I was taking a short break and I'm at my computer desk.

Before I read what you said looking at the pic I thought to myself I sure hope that isn't the rim from me.

It was. It was!!!! I need another rim!!!! :lol: :lol:

No the rim I got from you is in great shape.

Are you sure the bondo wasn't JB weld?
It seems the people that make those kinds of repairs love that stuff.
:)

As much as is in there I'm betting on Bondo. If they used that much JB Weld they could have paid for a new rim.

Not to worry, it'll buff right out! LOL
At least they used something other than [i:068ca7938d][b:068ca7938d]just[/b:068ca7938d][/i:068ca7938d] duct tape.
This was on a tractor I had owned for 4 years before I
had a problem. Calcium loaded tires even.
The outline you see is as far as the duct tape ran. :shock:

lol
they just got the order wrong.....
lay a sheetmetal patch in there, tack it somehow...
bondo over that to cover sharp edges...
[i:1cb22c6055]then[/i:1cb22c6055] the duct tape...
(that dumb always rusts hat rim channel is a good place to hide rivets...oh wait, did I say that out loud...)

not that I would do any such improper thing...
 
(quoted from post at 11:43:57 05/23/15) I'm going to blame hipsters! They love old iron. Or was it irony?

Well I hope you didn't bet much. I got this one form a local family. The wife's father bought it new.

Battle Lake area farm girl who married a local guy who doesn't farm.

I have a long time friend who was big into old tractors for ten years or so. He did a lot of buying and selling. He had a place on a main road. I also have a friend who works at the Firestone store. he was in my son's class in HS. He also has some old tractors. One day he had a tire and wheel from the first friend that had duct tape inside. He told me that the first guy did it frequently. Not a good way to build a good reputation.
