I need one good front rim for a D10. I know the D10 is 15 in and the WD series is 16. My question is the bolt pattern the same to be able to put WD rims on the D10. If I can't find a good 15 in, can I put two WD rims on the front. I don't have the D10 here to try it. Sooooo, will it work, or do I go to our classifieds. Thanks in advance, Fred

im guessing no. I bought two 16 inch D15 rims and tires to put on a B, which had 15 inch wheels. ( I knew the bolt pattern was not the same). It was not even close. I had to cut out the center disc and install a new one with the new pattern. I wanted bigger heavier tires on the B.

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

Case SC cast front rims are 15 inch and fit the WD. If you want some extra weight up front you could go that route.

Fred, I have a set of case SC rims here if you need a set. They have a brand new set of Firestone triribs, which I was going to put on my B. When I went to look at them I brought a B front hub and a WD front hub to see if they would work on anything I had and they matched the B front hub perfect. I don't think you'd ever break them things, they're heavy!!

Measure the bolt pattern and the wheel center hole. Many a tractor has used 6 bolts on a 6" bolt circle. And the same rims fit many a wagon and implement. 5 bolt circles are less standardized but there is an agricultural standard, plus Ford, GM, and Chrysler where few interchange.

You have to check offset, so you don't end up with rims way too wide or tire sidewalls dragging on the spindles. Look at Baum Hydraulics (www.baumhydraulics.com), or Shoup (www.shoupparts.com) for the commonly available 5 and 6 bolt ag rims. Gemplers, Miller Tire, and Value-Bilt will also have a selection.

D10-D12 had 5 on 4-1/2 inch circle, don't recall center hole size, same as the B, C, CA.

WD, D14, D15 on larger bolt circle and center hole. Later D15's and 17's had 6 hole pattern.
