I snagged a 1935 WC with spoked wheels at an auction this weekend and before I do anything with it I wanted to make sure I can get wheels to replace the rotten ones. The spokes and rims are totally shot...I don't care about keeping it exactly perfect but can someone point me in the direction of a source for wheels for it? If I can't get those then there is no reason to do anything with it. Thanks, Matt

Factory spoke wheels are ROUND spokes, not flat spokes. An F-20 Farmall uses the exact same wheel as a WC.

Yes, this one has round spokes. Though they're both terribly ruined by time.

I don't really need or want to spend the time finding old stock or used rims. I see later models have a solid center rim, is there anything to worry about with going to one like that? I am just trying to get this old thing going and looking good, doesn't have to be period correct.

I also plan on updating the ignition one to that part.

Thanks again!

Solid center will work fine.

Update...I found what I need at All States Ag Parts so the rim and center are available...for a price! A little more than 10x what I paid for the tractor and I can get a set of rear rims/centers...then need some tires to boot. Not sure the direction yet, this may end up pricier than I'm willing to take.
