I have a 16inch DoAll band filer which has been used as a bandsaw for decades.
She cuts well!
The tires are not cracked or brittle. However, the upper tire is slipping.

Does anyone have recommendations for cleaning and re-gluing?

Thank you,

Daryl I put new tires on my DoAll converted band filer , the recommended glue was rubber contact cement. Stretch the tire on wet glue center it and let dry overnight .
You might want to check the top wheel bushing for play , make sure the grease zert hole is drilled thru the bushing , mine wasn't ! . My new tires are orange and work good
If the tire is trying to slip off the top free spinning wheel check the bushing for slop
Mine uses 114" blades , what size blades dose yours take ?.

It is now gray again
 
I used the rim cement that cyclists use for tubular (sew-up) tires. I was into cycling at the time and figured I'd try it on some very stretched bandsaw tires. Those suckers did not move for the next twenty years! Comes in a small tube. (not the same as tire repair cement, this is for gluing racing bicycle tires to the rims)

I wonder if my sew-up cement is still soft?
I think there are two tubes left.

Mine appears exactly the same. Well other than yours has a better paint job.
Mine came with half dozen blades. Thus, I haven't purchased any.
Someone has dutifully written inside the door 114".

Thanks for the pointers on gluing the tires!
Any suggestions for cleaning up the misc swarf and shavings?
Mineral spirits?
