Tire and Wheel Inspection

What happens here

Examine the tires and wheels for any cracks, especially around the rim. Older tractors may have caustic materials inside the wheels to add weight and help seal, which can corrode the wheel and valve stem over time. Check the valve stems for rust or looseness by wiggling them. A rusted or loose valve stem could indicate internal corrosion and potentially lead to sudden air loss, resulting in a costly repair.

Goal: Assess tire integrity and identify potential issues with valve stems caused by internal wheel material
