The rims on a 50 year old tractor aren't always pristine.
The one with very little rust had the rim clamps welded on.
Lots of time with an air grinder and a great job by the powder-coaters it looks new again
The other one had fluid in it and was quite rusty
Sandblasting shows the extent of the damage
Here the powdercoating reveals the imperfections of my patch
it's solid but not real pretty
Sandblasted and coated inside and out they should last a long time
The date 9-58 also says very late IB
The front rims all blasted clean inside and out
I went with the powder-coat on the fronts too
The original Good Year rears cleaned up nicely with Westley's Bleche Wite
Fronts are new Good Year rib treads for a good match with the rears
