Last summer I bought off of Amazon two 12x28 6 loop rims for my Dad's IH444. I also bought inner tubes because there was so much rust on the rims the beads of the tires were in terrible shape and didn't hold out much hope I could get them to seal mounting them tubless. I can only assume the rims were imported from China, it was $369 for two rims, from a place called RAParts Inc. Amazon part number is 672478A, but no longer shows up on Amazon.
After mounting both tires, they started to leak air after about 30 minutes. I took them back apart and both valve stems were torn from the tubes. This did not happen during installation, as there were no leaks, then all of a sudden ~30 minutes after mounting and seating the bead you could hear a small leak and then all of a sudden the leak was huge. Both valve stems ripped clean off.
I was then able to get one of the tires mounted tubless and holding air, the right tire however was just not going to work tubless. So I tried the one old good tube I had. Same deal, after 30 minutes, leaked, valve stem ripped off. Is it possible the hole in the rim is in the wrong location? The tires are 13.9 x 28 "on a 12 inch rim".
The old rims are long gone so I cannot compare the stem hole location.
Today I tried the glue on tube stem replacement patches on two tubes, tried one of them in the tire again, same thing, lasted 30 minutes or so then ripped right off the tube. I used tons of baby powder this time thinking the tube was somehow getting stuck.
I am super frustrated, have mounted dozens of tractor tires, never had this issue. WTH is going on here?

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
