B6100E 2WD Rear Rims/Tires

[MiddleCreekStables]

Hey gang,

Our stable came with a Kubota B6100E 2WD tractor, runs pretty well, but right rear tire developed a leak in the wheel rim the other day, when I try to add air to it, I can see/hear air coming from the wheel rim near the valve stem...The rim is obviously rusted/corroded, and leaking water/air.

I assume that these rear wheels may have had water added to them to add ballast, but we live in the northeast where it may freeze in winter.
Currently, we have 7-16 AG tires on this tractor...I need to find a new wheel and probably a new tire to match the other side.
Where could I find a matching size wheel and tire?

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

IS the rim completely shot? YOU think a tube will fix it? I would drain the fluid, place tube in it, then refill.

EBay is a good bet.
Replace both at the same time to keep the height and wear the same.
And install tubes, saves the rims, get the tires filled again, You probably don't have water it's probably calcium chloride, get them refilled with rim guard or beet juice if you can and that will save abuse to the rims too.

Thanks for the info., I'll replace/add a tube first, then go from there...The rim is leaking air/water from a 1-2 inch area near the valve stem...

Thanks again!

If you are trying to stretch your dollars you can have the bad spot repaired at a welding shop (or do it yourself). Should be a simple repair. Install a new tube and add liquid weight.
