These are 14.9x26 tires on the AR. I have no idea as to how hard they 
are to find but just out of curiousity I searched kijiji and found a 
pair here in Sask. Good tires but the rims would not work for me without 
some modification.

Mine are an open centre rim with six little raised lugs all around the 
inside for the clamp bolts to hold the rim onto the cast wheel. There 
are also two bigger lugs welded on either side of the valve stem which 
appear to be the drive lugs and fit into a groove in the cast wheel. 
They have a bit of extra welding on them that somebody has patched up in 
the past.
I got most of the fluid out, then using the air chisel to get the 
biggest rust patches off the area around the stem and so far have not 
hit rubber:-). Now for some sand blasting.
