That rim was nice and clean it's an FL lock ring it's safe as can be. I've never heard them called the ring of death, and I've done 4 thousand of them. FL, LB ,LW, 5 degree 3 piece. Redco. Every split rim is suspect... that someone has taken them apart and changed the lock ring and you never looked to see if the parts matched. Big mistake. the biggest mistake you can make...and then you have a ring of death. I used to do all the rail boxes for United Parcel Service. And a lot of Night Calls and Road calls service. 750 twenty 825 twenty 10 twenties 11 twenties 12 twenties antique and suicide Wheels. I've done it all. And I live in New England. Not Texas. Here you have to deal with scale and rust and a lot worse shape rims than you have there. And if I can't read the stamp on the ring and the lock ring it is considered unusable. A lot of the shops around know that I am the only one around that will do them. So I have some on hand that I sent out to be reconditioned. So when people come in I just either throw there's a way. And sell them mine.
Why inflate the tube? We always found the problem, removed damage from tire, insert healthy tube into tire and then on rim, put the rim tire circle back on mount and inflate.
I’m about to buy an international RDF-230 with all 11.00-20s on Dayton’s..... I’m probably gunna have to do all 10 of them. Unless you wanna do them. .... I’m in south Texas 👍🏻
Yes that is how it's done! Nothing to be afraid of when you know what you are doing but I still hate those old 10.00 20s. Hauled enough container chassis in my day to get my fill. The guy narrating though...is he speaking English? Can't understand him.
