What car tires and size will fit the front of my B? The tri ribs are tearing up the yard when I turn. John ------------- '41 Allis B '45 Allis B '49 Farmall Cub '72 IH Cub |

I can check later on today. Have 5 spoke white 'wagon wheels' on my CA. They are a trailer type tire. Much easier on the turf than the tri-ribs were. |

the rims are 5 bolt on 4.5 inch circle...(Mustang / Taurus/ Explorer).. shown in the RED BOX below... I had one tractor that come with spare DONUT tires on it.. They might have been 165 mm wide ? Factory tires are 4.5 or 5 inch wide which would be 125 mm .... LOT SMALLER than the cars that use 195 or 205 mm tires ( 7-8 inch). ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

My narrow front Model C has 5-rib implement tires and they are pretty smooth, in fact, I have to use the brakes to turn on grass if it is damp. |

Well, got busy and didn't check the size of those tires yesterday, today not looking good either! I bought the ones on mine at a farm sale. Got two new wheels/tires, hubs, and a bunch of other stuff to build a small trailer. So far, wheels/tires are all I have used! Always more important things to do than build a trailer. I've got a rough idea for it, involves 4 WD frame rails for the bed/frame. Related, kind of. Was at a buddy's place Sunday, he has a bunch of 4" channel iron laying on a pallet. I inquired, yes he would sell me some reasonable. I mention this because years ago we discussed WD farm cranes on here. TedJ sent me all the plans he had for them. Haven't made a lot of headway on that front but it's still in my mind. Having the material would help a bunch!

| My grandfather had Hudson rims on mine while it was on the farm. When I bought it back from the guy that bought the farm it had a 14" on one side, a 15" on the other. I opened up the center of 15" rims off a 72 Ford LTD and bolted them on |

Keep forgetting to post this. The ones on my CA are; 175-80D 13's. Just trailer tires/wheels sold at most farm stores. Great for mowing, tri-ribs really cut up the turf! Have some 'doughnut' spares around here I picked up off a curb, not sure what will ever happen with them. |

I've used 165 x 15R radial VW Beetle sized tires with the regular 4.00-15/5.00-15 tractor sized tubes in my original rims on my wide front C for over 20 years. They work great! Dad had the same type of tires on his B at one time only his were 5.60-15 bias ply VW tires. His were even wide white walls! Kip ------------- HANSEN'S OLD ORANGE IRON. Showing, Pulling, & Going!! |

20 years ago i bought a set of D15 rims with 6 x 16 inch 5 rib tires.. at an auction for CHEAP. ..... i cut a 7 inch circle out of the center and welded in a new plate that fit a B..... YES... a B looks real nice with a bigger set of tires on the front. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I've been shopping around for rear turf tires for my B. Man, these tire outfits aren't bashful with their prices on tires. Looking at 9.5x24's turfs. Wow wee! I use the B with the loader around the property so I wanted the turf tires so it doesn't tear up the lawn. I'm seeing that the bar tires are a little cheaper. Not much cheaper though......! Looks like I'm gonna havta' bite the bullet like everyone else......  Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |
