I know what I'm doing tomorrow

The dreaded flat rear tractor tire. This is on my loader tractor, Ford Jubilee. The tires have only been on the tractor a month or less. I bought a pair of tires 2 years ago, mounted on orginal Ford hard hat rims. Traded the rims for other parts. So I ordered 2 new rims and tubes and had them installed. So tomorrow I get to remove 400 pounds of wheel weights,and take tire in to be repaired. At least no snow! joe
 
That's lousy luck.

Picked up a 640 last season with a fair amount of rust around 1 of the valves. It's to the point where the tube is just starting to poke thru. Pulled most of the cal out when I got her but, of course, too late. Just a matter of time. Probably not worth welding.
 
I have 4-5 rear rims with welded in patches. I drill a new 5/8? hole in the better portion. Otherwise I would have gone broke buying new rims. I changed out my last 2 rear flats myself. That $150 service charge on top of labor is another killer. However, it took me about 8 hours to drain, dismount, change tube, remount and refill a rear tire. I am cheap but not too fast.
