I have an early 8n with what appears to be original "hat style" rims. I've been refurbishing the tractor for the last few months and getting ready to look into getting new tires for the rear. Around the valve stems in the rear the metal seems to have bubbly looking rust I'm assuming from calcium chloride filling. How rare, or how important is it to salvage these hat style rims? I'm a pretty competent welder so I'm able to make any repairs but I'm just wondering how much work is it worth to keep them. How much value would it add to the tractor to retain them?
By the way this is mostly going to be a working tractor used for small garden plots and the occasional hay ride.
Also If I decide to replace the outer rims with the common ones available say on this site will they fit my current inner wheel centers or do I need those as well?
