Common here in Wisconsin, right about the 10-15 year mark you start having problems. Like mentoned, its corrosion. You can do it yourself if you want. I took off the rims, broke the bead on one side of the tire only. Pushed the bead in and put some scrap blocks of 2x4s between the bead and the inner part of the rim (not the bead of the rim, I needed to clean that). I used a wire wheel on a drill to clean up the bead of the rim, lots of white powder flying around. Washed it up, let it dry then spray painted it with some clear paint I had. When it dryed, I pulled the blocks of wood and seated the bead and then did the other side.
It took a couple hours that way but the actual "work" of it was a half hour or so, the rest of the time was waiting for things to dry. I didnt have to drive to town and pay anybody to rebalance my tires, since I did half at a time the tires didnt change on the rims. Its been 3 or 4 years, still holding.
If you do the beads and the rim still dont hold air, you have to dismount the tire and do the whole inner part of the rim because its leaking through somewhere other than the bead. Usually people replace the rim at that point but you could mark the tire and pull it off yourself, seal it up and put the tire back. A manual tire changer is pretty cheap at Harbor Freight, I have paid for mine many, many times over.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
