Yes I need new rims but I am cheep and these tires still have a little life left in them. When the tires just have to be replaced I will buy mounted tires on new rims. This is how I made due till then............
Not real bad to start with
So I took the tire off the rim.
The more I tried to grind out or weld up the bad spot the worse it got. So I resorted to welding in a new piece of steel; forming it to the rim shape and grinding edges smooth.
Here is what it looked like from the outside.
Then I sanded; put some rust inhibitor on and primed the rim.
Then I cut up the old tube and stuck it to the rim with spray adhesive.

Installed puncture retarder liner that goes between the tube and tire.
Mounted the tire and installer on tractor. On to next project getting steering box repaired.
