Replacing rim on rear of tractor

[auctioneer dave]

I wanted to tell my story about having to replace a rusted out rear rim on Kubota L 3600. The rim I could not find a used one anywhere in the USA so I went to Kubota dealer and purchased a new one (size 17.5 X 24) for $300.00 then the service call to come out and change this out was $260.00 I went ahead and put tubes in both rear tires while I had him out here. The tubes were $130.00 for both, I had him to take the calcium out of the tires and put methanol mixture in 30 gallon at $8.00 per gallon for a total of $240.00. the total cost for replacing the rim and all plus the rim was $930.00. I hope I do not have to do this again. One thing I kept the calcium and put it in barrels and uses it for grass and weed killer after just two days it has already started killing the grass and weeds.

That's good info. When I bought my tractor it had new rear rims, tubes, and ballast. I knew that was worth something, but didn't expect that kind of money.
