On my tractor, hit it on a rock damaging it. Where the knurled part is it unscrews from the base portion. it looks like I can just replace that piece and won’t have to break the bead.

I believe some particular styles can screw the center out without dismounting the tire, makes the opening larger for ballast filling. See if the straight knurled bit will unscrew (anti clock) with a pair of pliers.
EDIT: I didn't read your post! You said it unscrewed! Yes buy and replace, no dismount!

The “guts” unscrew making the stem opening much larger then where the schrader valve is, I assume for filling purposes.

You dont need these for ballast. A standard valve stem will work just fine.

I was told the regular rubber valve stems should be swapped out when using Rim Guard by the guy near me that fills tires. He said it’s hard on the different type of rubber the standard valve stems are made of.
