My old allis chalmars has turf tires on it. By golly after only 28 years they are in need of changing. The rims are in 2 halves with a rubber gasket in between. I took them to 2 different tire shops hoping I wouldn't have to split the rim, but they couldn't take the tire off without doing that. I unbolted the rims and found just this rubber gasket between the 2 halves.
Anyone ever worked on a tire like this? Will they seal back up when bolted together? Should I grease the halves to help seal it? I know I should change the gasket but it looks good and I'm in a fix to get er done. Any help appreciated. Mark
