OK I have two different rims I noticed after taking the tires off, one is a bevel and one a four bump. Now I see after looking in my bucket of parts I have four different rim clamps, so are the bevel clamps different for one wheel or another or do I use two of one type and two of another on one wheel? The C laying behind the barn has four bump rims but two different clamps on each wheel, my B has different clamps all together but kind of the same arrangement of two different clamps on each wheel. Not sure what is what and the service manual skips right over the rim installation instructions.

you should have two clamps that use standard 5/8 inh bolts , and two that have "cam bolts" that you can twist and they will cam- over and tighten up the slack... The two standards go next to each other ( 12 and 3 oclock) and the two cams go next to each other ( 6 and 9 oclock) example.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

I have seen small variations in clamps built 10 years apart, but the setup above is always the same.

Ok the C has them opposed from each other so those are mounted wrong too. At least I do not need new clamps, just rims, what a mess. I am going to have insane money in this thing by the time I am done, four new tires and I already welded new front rims on the riveted centers. Its like the Million Dollar Tractor, I have the technology but not the funds LOL.

So I have one with a 1/2" hole and all the others are 3/4. Three have a recess built in all the others are flat on the face, so are they all supposed to look the same outside? Or two flat and two recessed on each wheel, I obviously have a mish mosh of parts on my hands?

UH OH I set my rear rim centers side by side, they are completely different too. I am very close to parting this thing out and buying another tractor.
