Especially if you powdercoat them, they should be fine.. and as @ebinmaine said you can always use tubes. If you really want to make the rims smoother I would suggest getting them sandblasted first, then apply putty or filler which can be used with powdercoating. And lastly get them powdercoated. Should be good as new.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #755 Posted January 30, 2022 The bead sealer goes on as somewhat a liquid but then dries but does not harden. It's messy and you'll get it all over everything but once it sets it peels right off. 3 hours ago, sjoemie himself said: then apply putty or filler I don't think that would work with these rims! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno why I couldn't find it before... https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/xtra-seal-vulcan-cement-14-008/16910029-P @Horse Newbie is right. That's a cement for patching. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I install all our tires with tubes because I don't have to be concerned about beads sealing. You will rust your wheels more with tubes. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moisture will get in around the valve stim of a tube.don't think load or unloaded will make any difference. As long as the bead stays sealed it can't get in a tubles. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if you don't run the tractor in the rain snow mud it still could get condensation in there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any idea what would cause such a thing ? Yeah this… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Newbie 7,069 #765 Posted February 1, 2022 Tried to call the powder coat shop today… left message … no call back yet… But there’s still plenty to do on the Work Horse. Soooo… I put the new transmission input shaft seal in, and just for a little extra insurance I put some RTV gasket sealer around the shaft hole where it recesses in to receive the seal. It was rated for differential work. Let’s hope for no leak this time. I put it in backwards like @WHX?? said he has done before. Also went ahead and poured about 1/2 qt. of 80-90 gear oil in her. I’ll wait and top it off in a day or so to let that RTV sealer set up a little. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,069 #767 Posted February 1, 2022 Spoke to Lowell at Wheel Horse Parts and More about ordering one of his rock shaft kits… the Work Horse has the tube for the lift cable but nothing else. Figured it would be easier to order his complete kit instead of hunting one down and then having to round up the cable and other parts of it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let him know you have the tube and he'll do the kit for all the rest of the parts. Be SURE to tell him the tractor model so you get the right bits. You'll like his stuff, I predict. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 12,028 #769 Posted February 1, 2022 ...And you said it wasn't really a restore. When every bolt, seal, and linkage is cleaned, painted, and lubed or replaced, plus the engine is rebuilt and repainted? Yeah, it's a full on frame- off restore!

Restorations don't mean maintenance stops for me. Some of the work needed can wait until next service. I'm always tinkering on my tractors now. Still fixing things on stuff that was restored. Sometimes you have to "sleep on" an issue to figure out the best fix. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Check the tube you have the one on my 520 was so rusted I ordered the complete kit. I got it opened up but didn't want to destroy a new cable in that rusted tube. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
