Super A Rear Rim Size

[PoconoCub]

I am in need of rear rims for my 48 Super A, the previous owner had Calcium Chloride in the tubes and the hole where the Tire valve comes out are rotted away. it currently has 9.5 x 24 Tires which I am replacing with New Set of 9.5 x 24 tires, what would be the correct rim size? I have seen 7x24, 8x24 and 9x24 searching the web for the correct rim sire so I can get them ordered.

Are you sure the rims are beyond repair? Some have patched over the rust at the stem hole and drilled a new hole in another position on the rim.

Rim sizes 7, 8, and 9 are all correct. Have you measured what you have? A 9-24 tire (9.5-24 in today's sizes) would have originally been on an 8-inch rim. It would be fine on a 9.

I made this repair by cleaning with a wire wheel and rust inhibitor then sandwiched some sheet metal between fiberglas/resin on each side finished off with sanding everything smooth and paint. No welding needed.

They may be salvageable, but I don't have time to deal with them at the moment I need the tractor for next week so I ordered 2 8X24 rims and hopefully, they will get here on time.

I have a little more work to do on mine:

I will attempt to repair them after I get the new rims.
