Recommended Posts

Does anyone have the valve stem size for 60's rims?

The one that fits?

 

Having been an engineer in the automotive wheel industry for my 40 year carrier, I should know the size.  But, I don't.  It was always specified by the customer, and other than when moving from tubes to tubeless wheels while I was still in grade school, I don't remember any changes.

 

The Tire and Rim Association is the keeper of standards to make sure tires, rims, tubes, valve stems, and wheel weights all work together regardless of who built the component.  Try checking their web site?

Good to know, I will check the site.

Seems like .410 and .620 or something funky.  Just less than 1/2” and just less than 5/8”

I have adapters to make the .410 fit in the .625 holes. I can send you a couple, but..... I'm on vacation in Florida and won't be home until Friday. These allow the smaller stems on tubes to fit larger holes in rims. They are not for tubeless tires.

Would they work for both size holes Don?  I bought a pair of rear wheels from Lincoln last year and one had the .453 and the other had the .625 sizes.

Yes sir... they are listed to work for both size holes, and I can personally verify that they do work for both size holes.  :greetings-waveyellow:

Nothing fancy. 6x12 extra heavy duty in the rear (they were Silvertowns and in there when I got the tractor--I suspect original equipment); 4x8 heavy duty in the front (new and matches to tire sizes)

For my use case (mowing ~¼ acre plus some towing and show touring), I'm expecting never to mess with those tires again as long as own this tractor.

Should the rubber washer be on the inside?

It came with 2 different rubber washer dependent on hole size. I installed with the first washer correctly. It leaked, so I was hoping if I added the other sized washer under the nut washer it would aid and seal.....it did not.

Should be steel and rubber washers on each side for that style, right?

 

Spray some soapy water on the bead to see where it's coming out (or just throw the wheel and tire into the swimming pool).

You can always use soapy water to spot leaks!

I use those on my travel trailer.  They can easily be under or over tightened, it appears that you may have squashed the rubber too much.  A bit of tire mounting lube on the rubbers allows them to better conform to the wheel.

It should be possible to push the tires off the bead, clean with wire brush, bead sealer and fill, right? I'm not at all looking forward to having to remove the tires... if that is needed.
