Doug, For your application the sidewall cracking may only be cosmetic. The leaking calcium needs attention, now! New tubes could last another 40 years, but the leaking calcium will eat the rims within a year or so, such that they have to be replaced. My tire store was able to sand blast and paint the rims and rinse the residual calcium out of the inside of the tires. The tractor had to sit on jack stands for a week to allow the paint to dry before they reassembled and put calcium back in. But I know short of a puncture the tires, tubes and rims will last another 40 years at my expected usage. New tubes: $30-$45 each. New rims: $175-$250 each. HTH ATW/WA
