Repairing a rotted out farm tractor rim.
My brother in law called and asked if i could patch his wheel. I said sure do it all the time. Guess i should have looked at it first. Its only missing 26" of metal So i pondered it for about 5 minutes and found some 1/8" flat stock in my rack of different sizes. Cut it and rolled it on my slip roll. Now to cut out the rust and get the parts fitted in the big hole. More pics tomorrow...Bob

I was going to comment earlier that the wheel would be wanting a tube, but the end result looks possibly airtight. Good job.
