The rear rims on my '64 Massey 202 ind. loader and back blade tractor were looking pretty mushy around the valve stems. I had the calcium pumped out and all the tires stripped off all the rims. No surprise, the 12x24 rear rims have to be replaced. My Massey dealer's getting new ones here on the next weekly shipment for $104 ea., seems pretty reasonable. I'm cleaning up and painting the front rims. The bad news: The 4-rib front tires need to be replaced as they have large cuts in the sidewall, one of which had tube peeking through it. Local tire dealer is quoting #130 ea. Does this seem a good price? The second bit of bad news: The rear tires may need replace also. The treads about 75%, good enough that I expected to put them onto the new rims and runs them for years. However, the beads are rusted, very rough, and the tire service that stripped them is recommending replacement. Any way to salvage these? If not, any advice on brand and/or dealers in central Iowa? The rears are 14.9x24.
