Well, I knew this was going to happen, several years ago, new rim, tire, tube 12 x 28 rim, 6 loop with 13.6 x 28 tire, loaded with CACL, valve stem leaked, dumb @ss young green tire guy who did the job said it would stop, at the time I was out of town for work, so it was left, well, figuring whatever damage it did, was let go too long, so just left it, and yesterday the valve shot out and now it's time to repair it. Good thing it happened in the yard.
Does not seem that the fluid got into the rim, but just around the hole is corroded, if the rest of the rim is ok, can this be repaired by welding, seems like a small flat area, cut, weld and grind smooth, paint etc. drill the hole, it would be fine, might just have to get another rim, whatever is best.
I've manhandled these tires around when loaded when I did the brakes on this 850 ford and watched the tire guy, (different one, well experienced, good work, but darned expensive) install a new one on a rim I sandblasted and painted with Zinc Rich Galv. spray. Looks like I could handle this so here goes.
Leave the rim and tire on the tractor, break the bead, this one will pop right off, tested that out already, will need to get a pair of irons/spoons to work the tire over the rim, then to repeat and get it off the rim, replace tire and tube, assuming inside bead goes on, then you fish that tube in there, seat the other bead, and as long as that tube is seated correctly, not bunched up etc, then you inflate/load the tire again. Think 14 psi is what is called for, forgot the amount of CALC for a 13.6 x 28, anyone have a table handy ?
What am I missing, will need the tire hand tools, have a can of bead sealer, need a tube, valve, possibly a rim, and the valve to load the tire, have a large rubbermad garbage can to mix up the CACL, also have drill pump, just not sure of any other tricks of the trade, I did watch that tire guy closely the last time, start to finish, does not seem out of my ability at all. The tire he put on has been no problem, 4 years now.
Hours at work been cut, budget says to do it in house instead of hired out.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
