Calcium damaged Rim

[earnest T]

Brother in law has a D-17 and rim is pretty much ruined due to calcium leaking out for quite a while.
Anyone have a good usable 13x28 power adjustable around? Thanks (in Pa.)

With the help of a friend who's a good welder and a press and an anvil, we fabricated pieces of steel (1/8" thick) to fit the shape of the rim and replace the rusted-out section, which we cut out. Not too hard, a couple hours work one evening to do both rims, and felt good about our job and ourselves after we were done.

I did both rims on one of my WDs. I found some good MFWD rims at the dealership scrap pile that were 13x28. I cut all the old lugs out of them and welded the powr-adjust rails into them from the rusted out rims. I spent a day on each one, including paint, but the results were worth it.

There is a pair of them on e-bay with tires. Bad Axe Michigan.
