Thank you for the really good information. Now it seems likely that the valve failed.
I figured the rims were hopeless. I see bubbling rust on the rims in spots and I thought that maybe the rims had rusted inside out in places. It could be just surface rust. Clean the rust with Naval Jelly, or Rust-eez bumper ointment? :lol: I will have to test how deep the rust goes, I was afraid to start poking at it.
It would be useful to me to understand the anatomy of a tractor tire. There is a inner tube, right? And that tube is filled with air, water and calcium chloride, for added weight. How does the tube connect to the rim? I am guessing there is the nipple on the tube that fits through a hole in the rim, some type of nut that keeps the nipple in place and a valve that screws into the inside of the nipple?
If that is how the nipple fits into the rim, it seems like an "easy" fix to weld some new metal over any very rusty spots and drill a new hole there, or somewhere else along the rim.
