It means a lot to have old school tire fitters on here to teach the young generation about tires. I’m 19 years old and I’ve been changing every tire type for the past couple years now,never knew about the spacers with the counter sinks and the counter sunk wheels like that. Every day I’m on here trying to learn as much as I possibly can about wheels and tires for my career so that I can pass on the knowledge I learn.
No big deal just something you learned from a Arkansas Hillbilly Hoarder. Remember back when most batterys where that thin white plastic. I seen a guy have a patch on one. So I asked him about it. And been using it ever since. I have a pair of cowboy boots 23 years old. And I glued on the rubber sole from those velcro tennis shoes that walmart sold. because the bottom was smooth and they where slippy. And put some on the heel also. When that wears thin I replace it. I suppose its a half sole glued on with shoe goo? Years ago there was a horse trader from Texas. He attended all the horse auctions for hundreds of miles. And was very knowlegable about livestock and lots of things. He could easily read horses and people equally. Had even written books and been published. And he often gave info and shared his tips and when someone thanked him & stated that they never knew that. He replied no big deal its just something that you learned from a Texas cowboy.
You know them old split wheels pretty good man. I've never seen a wheel take two different lug nuts! The tractor tire inner tube was a great idea! See you next time 👍
Those wheels with the innie and outie mounting holes are a stud pilot wheel. Ive seen them in both 6 and 8 lug. and on one ton trucks and 8 lug trailer axles.
I was envious of your tire tool you used to beat that old rusty 2 piece split rim apart with… and your old Elm round, next day I went out to my boy’s shop, told him I’d spent 4 hours lookin for a tutorial on the interweb before comin across you, I was gonna make a tool and show him where the bear went to the buckwheat we had beat ourselves to death on, he said he had already put air to that old “collapsible, slide by, safety rim” and it was holdin 80 lbs. I swallowed hard and said I had just told his mother I needed to get out there before the boy kills himself… I told him to pull the Schrader valve and I found and old broken leaf spring, cut it to 10 inches an ground a semi smile on the end and proceeded to drive that tire down off of that rim in about 8 different locations just like you were a showin, he was amazed as we had spent the day before takin turns with a 16 lb to no avail. I showed him the bumps on that RH5 degree Firestone, (it wasn’t timed correctly either) got to the pry index and laughed as we separated that “collapsible, slide by, safety rim” apart like crap thru a tin horn. I flipped that 9:00-20 over and he said: let me have a go at her with your new tool, he proceeded to wear himself out, he said: what’s the deal, I laughed and said: where’s your… Elm round🌳 We got her apart on an old Tamarac round, we cussed and discussed the engineering of the “Widow Maker” as it went onto the scrap pile. He did manage to find a nice split ring welded rim out at the wrecking yard, the right width to replace his badly cracked one on his newly acquired 600 Dodge with the 10:00-20 dully the night before, we put it back on after replacing all the broken lugs, tightened em down correctly with his budd gun, hooked up the trailer and headed out to get his backhoe! All of this to say, you never know that your gonna find/learn when you go to bleeding the brakes on an old truck with leaky slave cylinders you just bought, finding parts and pieces of bygone days and knowledge that shouldn’t never be forgotten… you Sir are a wealth of knowledge, I’d love to see tutorials on all of the old wheels and the thinking that went into them in care and practice, in 65 years in the building trade, I somehow missed where the rubber meets the road. I too have a sweet little gal that’s put up with me for 40 years, I ain’t never been to old to learn, thanks for putting up with me!
Yes i commonly learn new things on U tube. I learned how to hot wire a LS engine and disable the VAT. Hard to keep hyd brakes on a two ton truck. We commonly dont use them regularly and wheel cyls dry out and brake boosters go bad. We have a 76 C65 chevy that has full air brakes. It always has brakes unless a air line get's a hole in it. We have a tire hammer that can be used to break the beads, However I prefer the tire spoon.
So, my 68 d300 dually has an indexing pin on the rear drums. The holes in the rims are staggered between being recessed and protruding.. but the protruding ones seem to have a recess as well.. is that from people jamming the wrong nut on there or do they all use the same nut and the protrusions are only there to mate with the adjoining wheel? Thank you

You can learn a lot from U Tube videos. In 71 and learn new stuff all the time. A 18 year old U Tuber helped me to disable the VAT on a LS engine.
Duluth Junction Tire Shop has a excellent video of the "Widow Maker " two piece wheels.
Nice job using the 22.5 tube 🙂👍
It is a really thick tube. I assume it will be able to withstand being inflated in the larger 24 inch tire.
Shoe Goo! Awesome 👍 great info on split rims Thanks!
Its just some things I have learned over the years that I hope will be of help to others
You sure are smart! That Shoe Goo is some good stuff! I learn something from you on every video! God bless you both!

@@thecollectoronthecorner7061 I'll look for tgem a5 the next junkyard I go to. Have a good one Buddy 👍
Good video! What deal on that tractor 12.50 I wouldn't be a 60 dollar tube in it ether😁 take care👍
It was about 55 years ago when I bought the B F Avery Tractor.

There is a small amount of factory chamfer on the protuding ones. best to have alternating concave & convex nuts however all concave will work.
Interesting never new that these old vehicles had no hydraulic brakes that 6 cylinder good engine
I owned a 35 ford pickup and it had mechanical brakes. This is the only chevy I ever seen with mechanical brakes.
$12.50👀
Yes twelve dollars and 50 cents. They used to take bids a quarter at a time.
