Hello, I just picked up a 1949 rts and it needs some TLC, It sat for a long period of time. Since I brought it home I have put some time into it to get it running and it runs great now! So to me it is worth fixing the old gal up! My big question is the rear wheels are rusted out no doubt from sitting so long here in the north west, WA. and the calcium leaking. What options do I have to work with here? This is my first old tractor project so I will need to no doubt pick some peoples brains a little to keep me on the right path. Any help would be appreciated.

Congratulations on your first tractor. Several options on your rims.

1. If not too bad, remove tires Sandblast rims and have a competent welder weld in a patch. I have seen this done so that it was impossible to spot the patch after painting.

2. Cut center from old wheel and weld into new 'blank' (centerless) rims.

3. Find other used rims. You will need to know what tire size you have or want (RTS could be had with 36" or 38" dia wheels depending on year or how tractor was ordered. (my '40 RTS had 36" tires.) On it I put the wheel centers in new blank rims. Kinda expensive, though.

Since you are in WA (I think that is Washington state) Why not contact Al Postma in Lynden WA? I do not have his phone number. His business is/was called Postma Brothers. Has lots of parts.
