I have a Gehl HL 2500 A Model 8-20... One rim is rusted very bad and I have to pump up the tires daily... even after putting new tires on... The rim is just too rusty....Is this a Chevy or Ford or what? Is there a aftermarket rim I can put on this? I know it is a five bolt... Thanks very much for any advice anyone can give me...

The only other option is to put in a set of tubes, they won't leak then.
Thats if you can't find a set of rims at the right price.

Thanks for your advice... The tire guys told me the rim is even too rusty for a tube as it would eventually work a hole in the tube as the rust is kind of sharp... so your right I need to find new rims but there is where I am confused... I am not sure if I need Chevy or Ford or what the heck kind of rims did they put on those machines... did they make their own special rims? I was hoping there was a aftermarket rim that would fit it... the owner or service manual says nothing except part number 600388... thanks very much for your advice...

I would suspect they are their own rims, but others may be the same bolt patern.
I know what you mean about the sharp rust. I have had some like that in the past, i wire buffed and sand blasted them. Gave them a good thick coat of paint, they were good to go again.

My Hydra Mac has Ford Ranger wheels on it they are 15s and fit perfect.
