the rim was stripped and they moulded polyurethane on it,after that it was machined to make it round.
the normal rubber is about 85 shore,the polyurethane is 80,that is similar too 85 shore rubber,so they told me.

Roy how many miles have you had out of the polyurethane ? I can get them done here fairly cheap but was unsure of the lifespan of the rubber.

with our carrier not many miles,but the guy who did it for us told me he made lots of wheels for old tractor,s and he never had problems with it , also the ones he made 15 years ago look at this time very nice. the compound is the same as they use on forklifts

Roy:
What is the likely cost to have, say, 4 wheels or eight wheels done? I'm over in Nuenen in May, would be interested to see what the costs are. My wheels are carrier type, but Ford Canada, if that makes any difference. They are not for a carrier, we use the wheels for our show engines:  Generally we can use wheels that are too far gone on the tyres or the bearings for further service on a carrier vehicle. Kind regards, Peter

Re-rubbering wheels in Canada.
Does anyone know of anyone doing this same type of re-rubbering in Canada? I'm sure we could get a few together for a run of wheels if it was feasible. I live in Edmonton and there is plenty of manufacturing here so I'm sure there is someone who could do it. Before I start calling around has anyone else had it done here?
