John Deere 630 rims

Have a Deere 630 that I m fixing up. Had the tubes and tires off and found out the tire that leaks down had fluid in and ruined the rim. Looking for a new or used set of rims now but don t know what the correct terminology would be for the rim I m looking for. I will attach a picture but I ve always known them as double bevel rims. I have 8 drive lugs or clamps per rim and I see as many as 16 or 20 drive lug rims listed. Will any double bevel rims work? I borrowed some that came off a farm all 560 and they seem to work fine

I can't really see the amount and degree of
rust damage in your photo. But they can be
fixed if it's just per say, a valve stem
hole rusted out, by using a torch, welder,
and maybe a similar rim to get some patch
material from. Might not be something you
want to tackle yourself, but a welding shop
would be capable. You might have to supply
the similar scrap rim.

But if it's just to far gone (badly pitted
all the way around where the tube runs, or
a hole rusted clear out to the outer edge
of rim), then it'd be better to just
replace it then.

If I was replacing, I go back to what was
factory correct for a 630 Deere or
equivelant (as in, can't tell the
difference), instead of just finding
something that WILL work, but is NOT right.

Sometimes manufactures used rims from an
outside supplier. And sometimes outside
suppliers supplied the same rim to more
than one manufacturer. Not sure if this
happened with the 630. And that'd be OK
with me if it was the same rim from a
different breed.

But some after market makers made one rim
that would fit or replace many. Kind of
just adaptable or whatever. I wouldn't use
them unless I had to. But that's just me.

Those are just borrowed rims to get by for now. The rims that were on it there would not be much left once the rust was cleaned up, the valve stems are rusted out badly but the rest of the rim is in rough shape as well.

Have the tools, materials and ability to fix them but just missing a rim good enough to fix

This is the better of the two rims, the worse of the two rust a 1/8 inch thick come peeling off with the chipping hammer

I have re-used worse than what's shown in
this picture. But after sandblasting, a
coat of primer, and then a generous coat of
paint. Let fully dry and cure before
mounting, and rub baby powder over the new
paint before mounting. That is, if the
valve stem hole can be fixed. You don't
show that.

Tire bead area of rim can be pretty bad,
and is ussually worse in that area, but
remember, the tube is not up against that.
Just the tire bead. So it can be a little
worse there, than where the tube will be.
The tube area is your main concern.

If you can get rid of the flaking rust, and
paint to prevent any more rusting, then you
kind of still got a salvageable rim. I have
fixed some that were pretty bad, and I have
ran into some that were just shot and no
fixing. The last one I fixed, looked worse
than this photo.

Any double bevel rim of the correct size will work fine. There is nothing unique about your rims. New rims are still surprisingly reasonably priced. Buy new is my advice.

I had a rim this winter I just welded the hole shut then drilled the hole out again in the same place. Then used a burr to open up just a bit so the stem had a bit more room in the hole. Hole was sharp enough to cut the stem so it leaked. Now looks like a new rim with that spot fixed.

My rims the bead was what broke off and no fixing there, rest of rim not bad.

The modern replacement rims use more drive lugs due to being on more powerful tractors. And on the front axle at that!

As others have said, any double bevel rim of the right size will fit and do the job. I replaced one on my 630 last year. When I pulled the tube
off the rim, chunks of rim cam with it. I found a new rim that had been sitting for a while at Biewers in Barnesville, MN. You can get new from
most any dealer that carries Unverferth, but they have gotten spendy.

Yep. If bead lip is rusted/broke off, she's done. I don't mess with them then. Might be a donor to another rim for a patch job. Perhaps it's matching rim, if it's not in as worse of shape. If you could do something there, it might save ya by buying one replacement, I stead of two.

Bought 2 and loop now instead of the hat style rims. Only lasted sbout 70 years.
