Hello guys. I appreciate the help on my gas tank last week. Got the new carb on a she's purring pretty. I was mowing some C.R.P. this weekend and an elm branch jabbed my valve stem area. Due to fluid in the tires is was a bit rotted and ripped a 3 inch diameter hole in the rim! I lost all my fluid and now need new wheels in a 14-28. Any leads out there?

I have repaired several rims of all sizes.

Both sides and grind it smooth. I forgot my camers the day I welded the patch in and needed to get the wheel back on the tractor, so I didnt get a picture of the weld and after I had it smooth.

After pricing new wheels and tires, I think I'll take your advise and try to weld it up. WOW! I'd have more money in NEW tires and wheels than I gave for the whole tractor! LOL. Is fluid weight more beneficial than dry weight? I'd like to drain the other tire and see if it makes much difference. Thanks again guys!

See if a local tire dealer can fill your tires with "RimGuard". It's as heavy as calcium solution (aprox 11# per gallon), non corrosive, biodegradable, and harmless. It is made from beet juice. If ever I have to drain the rears on my Ford, I'll certainly try to have them filled with it instead of calcium. As I see it, most Ford tractors I've ever operated need added weight, because their power to weight ratio is porportioned as having much greater power than porportion to weight. This is exactly the reverse situation of tractors like the 2 cylinder JD's and Farmall letter series.

A lot depends on what your going to be doing with your tractor as far as having fluid in the tires. If all you do is mow with it no need for it but if you do much plowing etc. you will find you need the fluid. Now you can switch to a fluid like wiper fluid which will not hurt the rims but its also not as heavy but I have found its close enough to work well and saves the rims to boot

Find a 28 inch donor rim to make the fix easier- the curve will match the existing rim. Especially important on large repairs- weld, grind, paint- will not be noticeable.

If thats all the bigger the hole is thats an easy fix if your a good welder that is. Or any good welding shop can fix that. I my self have welded up rims that where a lot worse off then that and they have been working well for years

Can't help ya with new rims.. but you could weld or braze in a patch and drill a new valve stem hole elsewhere.. then file it to make it smooth..

Great pics Dick L. Very helpful. I will try to man-handle the tire and wheel onto the trailer tonight so I can bring it in to town for repair. Thanks for the pointers fellas!

If ya don't have a donor rim, just cut flat stock. annd heat it and beat it on an anvil to match contour and weld in.. 'close' is good enough on these old beasts.. grinad and paint and be good for another 50ys..
