Hello.
I have a 1970 Massey Fergusson Model 135 DeLuxe that I picked up within the past 2 weeks. When moving snow yesterday, I discovered the inside wall of one of the rear tires was well cracked and providing little support. Today, when I dug out the tire gage, I discovered the rim near the valve stem is "deteriorating" ... I do not know of the shop would do anything when it comes to changing the tube/valve stem. The deterioration was camoflaged by paint.
Is the deterioration or the rim (mostly rust-through) repairable? Can the metal around the valve stem be repaired, or am I forced to locate and purchase new adjsutable 28" rims?
Thanks, Ed
