After about 40 -45 years, a rusted out rim around the valve hole happens. Tire guy will pump fluid into your barrel where it will sit a few days while machine shop will put a patch in rim & drill a new hole for valve stem. You then smooth it up with grinder and/or wire brush; paint with rust-o-lium . Mount tire, pump calcium back in & you're good for another 40 years. Of course about every 10 you will need a new valve core as soon as you see a little moisture around the valve. I thought all tractors had calcium cloride solution - then one day I saw one with air-filled tires! A 4440 and it couldn't hold back a silage wagon going down hill. Scary sight as it jacknifed down the lane. Rusted rims kind of go with the territory.
