    Posted: 22 hours 9 minutes ago at 7:17pm
I have a 1961 D-15 Hi-crop tractor (s/n: 3801). I am getting ready to purchase new 12.4-38 tires for my 38x11" rims (see photo). These are not the current wheels on my tractor.

I'm trying to determine if I need to purchase tubeless or tubed tires. Are these rims compatible with tubeless tires? I'd prefer to go tubeless if possible. 

I am planning on sand blasting and painting the wheels before adding the tires. 

Thanks,

Tom

If your rims are solid and not rust pitted from being fluid fill tubeless tires will work without problems. Give your rums a good close look after sandblasting before you repaint them and spot weld any holes that might appear.
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

check the hole size where the valve goes... Make sure you get a valve that FITS.. or you might have to drill the hole alittlel bigger..
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I put a new pair of 18.4x34's on my 756D last summer, mounted tubeless. Just this week I put a tube in the right one. It just would not stay up. Very slow leak but annoying all the same. So the tube went in the tire/rim that looked almost factory new. And yes, I wire-brushed and painted the inside surface. No obvious puncture found in the tire. Left rim, which has some pitting, seems to be fine. If it starts to leak, it will get a tube pronto. Had it to do over again, tubes right out of the gate! Tried to save a few bucks, you know.

Edit; I should add that mounting them tubeless was not fun. Had to wrap a strap around and crank it as tight as possible to get them to 'take'.

I just can't imagine going tubeless on a farm tractor rear tire or any farm implement tire for that matter.

I've got tubeless planter,grain cart,field cultivator 545B wheel loader and combine tires. Prefer tubes on tractors and recently had to mount a loader tire. PIA. Big rachet strap around center. Good way to get hurt trying to release ratchet.
