What's the best way to deal with badly ovalled wheel nut holes in a tractor rear wheel rim?
I was thinking of welding the hole closed - then re drilling the wheel stud hole with a mag drill and broaching cutter - then putting the taper seat back in using a chamfer countersinking bit.
Getting everything lined up would be a challenge though - could maybe make a wooden pattern of the 8 stud holes then mark this onto the wheel rim?
Any suggestions gratefully received.
