Please don't kick me off for doing this to an old AC rim, but hopefully this works out as planned!!

I have an International Little Genius 2-14 plow on rubber that I am working on restoring. Well I have been trying to find a good front rim and a good rear rim for a couple of years now and found it to be next to impossible (they are either rotten or $$$$$$$). So I purchased a spare plow for $40 took all the parts off I needed and sold the rest for scrap and got $45. I saved both front rims, and the back rim as well as a couple of needed levers. Front rims were getting pretty bad though, so I decided to make one good rim using two bad ones. I had a bad WD front rim (bolt holes wallored out), so I cut the center out of it and cut the rim off of the center on the old plow wheel and after a little work I will be able to take it to the welding shop for final welding. Then it will be primed, primed, primed/surfaced, painted, painted, and clearcoated so as to make it last for a long, long time. Just thought that I'd share some picks of what it takes to do this.
Thanks
Adam

Not a problem- been doing that for years. Pick up old rims at auctions- don"t care if the centers are gone or the rims. Can get either for a buck or so. Drill out the welds, whack the centers with a bfh, and keep either good part. Weld two good ones together- cost is minimal, good winter shop project. New rims were 30, now up to 100 bucks. Recycling 101!

Friend of mine used to make wide rims for dune buggies by cutting and welding rims together. Stretching the tire to fit those wide rims was the problem!

guilty here also. For implements I have ground out a rusted section of rim, then cut that size section from another old rim & weld it in. Body putty can fix the looks of it. Saved several rims this way. Wouldn't do it for high speed usage tho.
