Nice job gb. Now throw it in the trash pile and go buy you a set of tubeless tires....I'm sure you deserve em....I don't know for what... but surely something.
I don't remember ever seeing a cab like that. Does it have heat and air?Impressive to say the least. I probably have the same job not far off. One of the rims on my 3600 the valve hole is rusted out and it is a ticking time bomb for the tube to go bad. It has spin out rims and they cost a war pension if you can still get them. I have a used spare rim with a rusted out hole I plan to cut a piece out and weld over the hole in mine and bondo around and then make another valve hole in the rim and it should be good as new. I will have fluid put back. Just had a new tube put in a 4630 with fluid and they charged $140.
Pulling that heavy tube out is not easy.
The cab was made by a company called Cozy. When hooked up and working it had a good heater, but not too Cozy without AC. It came off a State Highway tractor. Pretty much just use it as a canopy, but on cold early spring days I put the doors on and the back glass on and it helps. I think originally you could get an AC kit optional if wanted. It probably would help in a roll over also as it is pretty heavy built.

I know what your talking about on the getting old part. I try to do everything I am capable of doing myself too. At the point if i keep going that way I am putting myself at risk of either a heart attack or stroke.
If not already you need that checked out as as not being able to move for almost an hour needs checked.
I am in the process of tring to find out what's going on now. Saw a nurse practitioner the next day. They done some test and set me up an appointment to see a doctor on the 17th.
I doubt those old rims would hold a tubeless tire. Pretty beat up and have a lot of rust pits.
so- I'm a newbie- but- yup, get it checked. I'm just about to turn 70- used to working in the heat, walking miles fencing- so at the end of May, I did that- got back up to the closest pasture and noticed my heart was ticking away kinda fast, a bit short of breath.. so I walked up to the house and checked it with my Kardia (gives you an ekg trace- got to watch it and the episode lasted 6 minutes). Decided I'd get it checked out the next day. all OK through the night- then I looked out the window the next morning and my bull was in the front yard. Went and put him where he belonged- and it went into that same rhythm. So I drove to the ER, got a stress test and a cath- next day they put in a stent. I'd had an 80% blockage of 'the widowmaker'. My cardiologist said- 'you know, you coulda croaked'. (SUCH a comforting bedside manner). I avoided the hear attack, but I'm REALLY glad I had the instrumentation to check out it right at home. I hope things go well for you. My word is- wring every last bit of information out of them about what's going on. Some doctors will give you the 'folksy' routine. They charge an arm and a leg for those tests. You pay it, and you have the right to all the information- and what to do about it.
Those Kardias are nice as I would like to have one of those.
I would add that 2 pair of vice grips are really handy to keep the tire from coming off the rim when you are prying it over. I have worked on my own for over 50 years. I worked in an independent tractor shop with a rental fleet. Flats were my job. Put myself through college working on tractors.
