As with several things in life. it's 1 step forward, then stumble back. I painted the center discs, ordered 2 tubes and mounted the tires. I filled the tires to 14psi, which is what the owner's manual recommends. I was going to let the tires set for a week or so before having ballast added. I check the air pressures, one tire is 14psi, one was at 0psi. My son and I break down the tire, remove the tube and discover some failures where the valve stem is bonded to the main tube. Do I replace both tubes or just the failed one. They are Air-Loc brand tubes, made in Korea, which gave me more confidence than made in China.

It's finally over!! :dance1: The pics are self explanatory. The 2 with the stump are a tad blurry, I was so excited to get some work done, I guess I was shaking a little. :laughing: Now I have to decide if I want RimGuard or wwf for ballast. I would definitely recommend the electrolysis method for removing rust. I'm thinking of doing the front wheels next year. It will be quicker because I should be able to put both wheels in the stock tank, instead of 1 rear wheel at a time.

^^^^ Looks really good!

I came across a bunch of cast iron pots and pans I need to cook up and get the rust off of.
