Good day gentlemen,

Well, I've exhausted all my conventional sources and so I come to y'all for a little help. I appreciate any you can offer. Here's my situation. I have an international hydraulic plow (not sure of the model). It is a four bottom but can be converted to a five bottom if desired. My trailing wheel is shot. The hole in the wheel for the valve stem is all rusted up and full of points that have punctured my tube. I have a good many acres to plow and only a two bottom j.d. trip plow to use behind my R. I could really use that four bottom. I've tried all my sources but cannot find a replacement wheel for it. Do any of you all know where I might find one or perhaps have one that you'd sell. I appreciate the help. God bless.

Does it have an automotive type rim or does it have a 4 bolt rim. If its a 4 bolt you can cut the rim off and buy a new one and weld on. I think miller tire sells blank rims.

You have a few options. Get the tire off and clean up the rust. Use a wire brush on a side grinder is my personal favorite. Then decide if the hole could be smoothed up with a small rat tail file and just file off the rough edges OR can you drill the hole out bigger and weld a washer in place over it. You could also take it to a farm tire store and have them fill it with foam and never have to worry about a flat on that plow again.

Poor people have poor ways. That's what my dad used to say, when he would try someting "a little out of the ordinary" to fix something on a "small budget". We had an old plow, that we were trying to sell, the tires wouldn't hold air. (The tubes were shot!) He wasn't about to spend even a few bucks, on something that he was trying to get rid of. We aired them up, so they would seat on the rims. The air ran out almost right away. Then he cut the valve stems off, and filled the tires with spray insulation foam (Borden Insulspray) They became "flat-proof" tires. A nieghbor bought the old plow. He still has it 25 years later. He plows his garden with it, every spring. The tires are worn through to the point that you can see the foam in places, but they still roll, and haven't gone flat. Poor people have poor ways. Just might work today. JMHO, John

Ever think about cleaning it up around the hole good and welding a thin plate in there and then grinding it back down smoot? Might look ugly as sin but might work as a last resort. Might work until you can find something.
