 Topic: WC rear wheel center
Posted: 15 Aug 2013 at 12:41pm |

Has anyone ever made or attempted to make centers to bolt onto the rear hubs of a WC? I have old duals I want to make centers for and weld to the outer rim, just wondering And if so how was it made?

Sounds like your trying to re-invent the wheel ..... its called re-rimming......
I used existing centers F&H 28" off an F-20 Farmall , old F&H flatspokes would work too...

Yes there are stamped wheel centers out there that will bolt to the WC hub. I have seen them advertized before, can't remember where.

See the problem is I want to run 16.9x34 tires which I already have and was thinking about making my own center to built to the hub and then use 2x3 square tubing to go from the center to the rim instead if cutting a good pair of wheels up to make mine work

Not much difference from 28" to 34", can you weld clips on the rim to bolt to the cast center like they do on high crops? Or don't you use cast centers.

MNLonnie, guess I never thought of doing that, sounds simple and easy!

I've got a set of 38 inch wheels with c channel welded to the rims that bolt to the centers which are a flat 3/8 inch still I'm guessing homemade centers
