Good day gentlemen,

Well, I've exhausted all my conventional sources and so I come to y'all for a little help. I appreciate any you can offer. Here's my situation. I have an international hydraulic plow (not sure of the model). It is a four bottom but can be converted to a five bottom if desired. My trailing wheel is shot. The hole in the wheel for the valve stem is all rusted up and full of points that have punctured my tube. I have a good many acres to plow and only a two bottom j.d. trip plow to use behind my R. I could really use that four bottom. I've tried all my sources but cannot find a replacement wheel for it. Do any of you all know where I might find one or perhaps have one that you'd sell. I appreciate the help. God bless.

If your in a really big hurry because of weather or whatever you can cut a piece from an old innertube and double it and stab a hole in the middle of it, put it on the stem of tube and go to plowing. After plowing season is over...repair as the guys say with a coat or two of paint to keep down future rust. Today we have to get maximum use out of everything. Cost of new is too expensive. Fred OH

That's kind of a low not-critical load. if the tire itself is good, the rim can eaily be repaired. most weld a patch over your shot area, & drill a new hole on a good section. Pretty simple, if you don't have a welder, anyone else can do it for you.

A quick fix would be to fill the tire with foam insulation. It worked quite well for me.

you wouldn't happen to be in ohio by any chance?
I am looking for some ground to turn over in central Ohio. I need to clean up the bottoms on a used 4-16 plow and break in my Oliver 1650. Figure 50 or more acres should do what I need. I have not been able to find anybody still turning ground over around here.

Also where ever you are at set up a plowing day or days. This will get your work done and let people exercise their tractors.

You might try Miller Tire. They have replacement rims for a lot of applications, maybe yours too.

I had the same problem. I bought a rim with no center from Miller Tire. then cut the center from the old rim and welded it into the new rim. with a coat of paint it looked like a new wheel. the center of the wheel with the bolt holes is usually still usable when the rim is rusted out.

I will agree with Kieth. Look around for a boat trailer or small trailer rim and tire. Thats what I done on my 2 bottom international plow. If you have to buy a new one. They are $30-$50 dollars at Wal-mart. Spending a small amount will beat another day or two plowing.

Check around near you and see if there isn't someone who fills tires with rubber to make it solid like they do tractor tires to make them puncture proof.Outside of that some of the previous suggestions should work temporarily. Otherwise you can buy another plow with what its going to cost you to do much plowing with 2 bottoms. Good luck..

Carefully measure how far the stem should be from the edge of the rim....remove the tire and tube and drill a new hole where the rim is solid..... weld a patch over the old hole..... ..reinstall the tire and tube add a little air and go plowing..... it works every time....

Weld a patch over hole then move 180 degrees and drill new hole.

Aloha, If you don't have a welder and for a tempo fix maybe you could grind the jagged edges away and smooth it out using a small rotary grinder like a Dremel.

Mahalo,
Howard

Could you smooth out the pits with some epoxy, then sand a little. Or maybe put a piece of boot over the pits. What kind of rim does it have? Probably should be able to find one.

Can you weld it up enough to get rid of the rough edges and grind it smooth? Just a thought to get you by untill you can find something.

grind it out fairly clean and weld in a washer that you've slightly bent with a hammer
