I have some brand new rear tires for my H and I bought them on the rims. One of the rims has some small dings. I plan on having them unmounted so I can blast and repair the rims. I want to heat the curled spots on the outside edge and tap the metal back into place. Has anyone done this? Successfully?

My father and I have a neighbor that visits our shop. If he has a bolt or nut he cannot get to turn, he wants one of us to use the "BIG WRENCH". Donot heat your wheel.Use a hammer and a piece of railroad steel.This works for us. ephhs

DON'T heat them or you can make thing worse because if you heat them they will start looking like a rattle snakes belly. Just take a hammer and a iron block and hammer them back to where they should be. Remember they are tractor rims not car rims and it they are not 100% straight they will still be just fine

The posts are cottect as i have straightened several with crestent wrench and pipe wrench. Sometimes using a piece of hard wood so as not to mark the rim then sanding the marks they will look like new again. Using a primer after sandblasting and then the I-H SILVER. Some then clearcoat realy look nice all depends on your effect when done.

Definitely just bang them back into place. Heating will change the properties of the metal, making it softer and easier to bend the next time IIRC.

You can do it without the heat. In fact, it would be better if you didn't use any heat.

For sure,

Either a big cresent wrench or a pipe wrench with a cheater bar. You can pull those "dings" right out in no time.

I'm not a real big fan of the red and green wrench.

I noticed that also. Good name. We always called it the "blue tipped wrench", and sometimes the "gas ax" for a cutting torch. This is a wonderful forum, as you say. mike
