Don: In all my years of farming I only ever bought 5 rear rims. My Farmall 300 and most of that was caused by stump damage around the wood lot. You can only straighten them so many times. My Super A had one leaky valve stem when I bought it, the other rim is original. Both stems on my 140 were leaking when I bought it, and it had a new tire on one side. Can you imagine someone installing a new tire after 40 years and not a tube, even change the stem. I am going to buy rims for my 130 shortly, however those are close to 50 years old.

I had a guy call me one day hydraulics on his Super C, wouldn't work. He had known it was low in hydraulic fluid, but that didn't matter he hadn't been using hydraulics as he was hauling wood with a trailer. Now he fills it with hydraulic fluid to use his snow blade for winter, and hydraulics don't work. I asked him if he cut himself and was bleeding non stop, would he stand by and let that pump go dry? Well no was the answer. I said, "it's the same thing neither one of those pumps can operate dry." I suppose the hydraulic can if one shuts the tractor off.
