He Repaired The Teeth On Two Huge Vintage Tractor Wheels FARM SHOP Repairs 31-4-36 Royal Weber, Nokomis, Ill.: Royal's no dentist but he has quite a record at repairing teeth. He recently repaired the teeth on two huge vintage tractor wheels for auctioneer Kurt Aumann of Nokomis, Ill. Famous for his tractor auctions, Aumann decided to rejuvenate an ancient Big Four tractor. It has powerful, heavy wheels with open gears. After years of use the teeth would wear down. Aumann decided to have Weber, an 83-year-old master welder, rebuild them.
Weber, who is called upon for all kinds of welding jobs, worked on the wheels as time allowed. He says it took 30 lbs. of welding rod and 30 hours of welding time on one wheel and 40 lbs. of rod and 40 hours of welding time on the other.
