RK 37 HC and B6200E
I have an old B6200e. One of the front tires finally dry rotted to the point where it will no longer hold air. So i bought a good tire and when I took the rim off to put the new tire on, the valve stem came off in my hand. The hole had rusted through to the point where the rim is useless. So I now have a new tire and no rim :)

Thus, I need a new rim. But when I go online, I find front rims for a b6200 are discontinued as a stock item. And 4 lug Trailer Rims don't seem to be the right hole diameter for the hub. Can anyone point me towards a new rim that would work?

Get the hole in the rim welded up and drill a new hole for the valve stem.

Or find a washer with the correct size hole in it for the valve stem and weld the washer over the hole. Either way, most rims are repairable to a point.
I say this while a Ford 1100 subcompact sits here with two front rims that the bead lip had almost completely rusted away from sitting too close to the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the rest of the tractor is ok, but the rims are going to need some serious reconstruction if they are to be saved. I have the same size rim, and more are easily available in 5 lug but mine are 6 lug. I could make adapters, or just rebuild the rims. Haven't decided which way to go, as it isn't a pressing need.
What size rim (or what size tire goes on it)?

4.5-10 Rim with 215/60-8 tire. I'm off to find a welder and washer :) Thank you for the idea.
