I am replacing the rear rims on a recently acquired 732 Case.( yes, 52 years of calcium did them in!) The rims are 16x30 deep well type. There are 2 drive lugs inch and a half x 2" long, 1/2 thick that fit into a notch in the cast centers to prevent the rim from slipping on the wheel should the clamps that secure the rim come loose. These drive lugs must be transferred to the new rims. The originals are secured with 3 3/8 rivets in each drive lug. I am wondering if it would be alright to weld these to the new rims or would that possibly compromise the strength of the rim? If I do weld, would you just weld the ends or ends and the 1 side between the two drivers? ( there is a gap of 1 and a half " between the 2 lugs). The big problem I foresee with rivets is handling the awkward things( 100 lbs) square over a bucking bar, getting the hot rivets inserted and then peening the tails. Even clamping the drive lugs in position is difficult because the deep well is 8" in from the bead rim. It would have been nice had Underverth done this, but I suspect that the various manufacturers used different size drive lugs.
