When I switched the front wheels arround to narrow the wheeltrac on the front axle of a '79 16045 to allign the tractor for ploughing, the valves are on the inside. On full lock the valve hit the trac rod end and sheared. Has anyone experienced this problem or got a solution?

Hi,
Yes , come across this a few times. The only option is to take the tyre off the rim, weld the old valve hole up and drill one on the outside. You may need to heat the rim to make a flat area for the valve to tighten onto.

ixer0 Thanks for that, sounds like a lot of work for a simple task.
I was hoping someone would recomend a site selling short valve inserts.....
Renze, I know this ,and all metal and paint is original, so if someone wants to complete their colection at an exhorbitant cost, make me an offer. I will compromise the power and the sound for an HSX and spending money....

how about if you took left rim and placed it on rh side and vice versa so that valves comes on the outside of the wheels and not on the inside ?

Yes maybe, but then you'd have to swap tire direction too... ??
Either I'm wrong or both of you are confused????
If I put the valves out I'm back to the trac I started with.
Turning tyres is the same as swapping from left to right.,
I think?
I have seen today valve cores (I think that is what they are called, the bit that screws onto the tube and the valve screws in to) on a 5011 which screwed on to he outer threads of the tube rather than inserting in the tube. This was more than 10 mm shorter than the insert type, but unfortunatly I can not source these items, they are old style...
These would solve my problem!!
