 Topic: 39 B
Posted: 10 Jan 2020 at 12:00pm |

I just picked up a 39 B and it has 6 bolt 15 inch rims on it and the bolts go all the way through and they have a nut and lock washer on them. They also put one castle nut on each rim. Never seen this before. I thought the 39 B's had the rim welded to the wheel center. Anybody have any ideas.

I think they where riveted on and I’ve seen where people grind the rivers off and put through bolts so they can take on and off like a new rim

I believe that type of hub was on the prototype B tractors under serial #101. Who knows how much swapping of parts has gone on throughout the years. When I worked a Ford dealer in high school we were always working on 928N tractors. Tractor jockeys would bolt things together in in matter they could to get a running tractor that an unknowing yuppie would buy.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

I've been told both rivet on rims and bolt on rims are correct for 39 that the switch was made some time during the year. My 39 s/n 26240 had rivet on rims. On a slightly different subject I have seen where the threads in the hub were stripped and some one used nuts on longer bolts on the back side of the hub to hold the rims on.
