Just picked my rim up the other day from a
local welder I go to.
He fixed a rusted out valve stem hole. Cut
a piece out of an identical rim that I had
for patching material. Welded into the rim
I had fixed. Drilled a new valve stem hole.
Ground the welds smooth.

$70, and I was on my way. I never even
tried to price a new one, or good one from
salvage.

Now the burden of putting it all back
together. I tore it all down myself. Even
draining the fluid and dis-mounting the
tire.

I'm not putting fluid back in. Done the
other side a few years ago. Left the fluid
out of the other side. So this whole time.
The tractor had one side with fluid, the
other side just air.

Not going to advise anyone one to work on
one of these themself, if they don't have
any means to lift and maneuver an entire
rear wheel. And got another tractor and a
wood plank to drive on to break the rear
tire off of the bead.

Also advise using new tube when going back
together (if no fluid again). Not sure a
guy can ever get ALL the fluid out of a
tube, once its put in there.
