I just got back to Phx after 8 days up in Chino Valley just N of Prescott, great weather :D Let's start with the rim replacement or repair: appreciate all the options and I wish I had some pictures, will take some next time up north. The rust around the tire stem is roughly the size of putting a washer (3/8" maybe?) around the stem. It appears from the advice given I may be better off replacing the rims due to convenience. With that said, I just may run them until one fails. I also am not reliant on the tractor if it's down for a while so that helps.
As for the 18 wheeler making the delivery, I completely understand why they may not drive down a dirt road, that's why I asked 3 times if they actually would. I assumed they would drop it off to another shipper with a flatbed or box touck with a lift gate. Being a first time buyer of a rotary mower if the seller or shipper had given me the options of having it shipped locally, had them assemble it and a quick instructional training session would have been great. Sounds like career opportunitie out west :D As always, I appreciate everyone's input. By the way, am I the only one that looks back at the mower from the tractor and the front end appears "higher" than it really is? After two broken shear pins I took a break and my wife showed me some pictures of me mowing, the front end of the mower was noticably lower than what I though it was :?

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
