When she was new back in the day, chloride was still the in thing.
We changed her over to rimsaver several years ago when new tires went on, but by then the damage was done, and it finally got punky enough to need replacing this fall.
Probably could cut out the rotten, and weld in a patch here and there where it has gotten thin, but that is just kicking the can down the road, and risking a patch popping at the wrong time and cutting a tube.
Been looking on the web, and I'm finding 8 bolt 24" pairs for an outlandish amount, used.
Anyone got a favorite outlet for NOS NH/Ford rims, or a source that might pan out for a single?
I did stop in the local Blue tractor boutique, and was rewarded with a smile and a "Do you really wanna know the price with shipping", question that the counter guy uses as a warning to go find another source, without steering customers away. Total came to about the same as the used pairs on the bay, so I passed.
I'm stuck with the 24" set up because of running Orchard fenders that are already fabbed up and mounted, which ain't helping.
Anyone have any luck welding in mount tabs, to convert something else to the 1920 pattern?
