<p>Injuries from blowing out large tires are more common than you
might think. Demountable or 'split' rims for heavy trucks were
mostly discarded, maybe even outlawed, after an accident or
perhaps several, where the tire was overinflated to the point
where the rim blew apart and killed the guy working on the tire.
If those are used at all, I'm pretty sure OSHA requires a safety
cage around the wheel & tire when inflating.<br>
</p>
<p>Consider how much area & volume are involved with 20 PSI in a
24" wheel. The total of the force on the rim is measured in
*tons*.<br>

<p>G’day List:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Anyone know where a person can find and purchase a 24” cast
iron rear wheel OR the retaining ring, for 1937 CASE “C” model
on rubber? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Never thought 20 PSI in a 16.9 – 24 would split and break the
cast iron rim when being chained down with a binder. But,
alas, my middle-aged son found out the hard way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I was on the opposite corner of our 7 acres when I heard the
boom that sounded close to a 105MM cannon. I told my friend
with me, “He’s killed himself”! We dashed to the scene, he was
okay but irritated with himself.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I think he learned something for the experience. I know I
did! I’ll be more watchful when someone else is airing up my
tires. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Stay safe,<o:p></o:p></p>
