Anyone know if the hubs off a smaller AC combine will switch over onto the WD-45 front spindles/axles to move you from a 5bolt to a 6bolt hub & Rim.

I don't have the answer but the later D-15's and D-17's had 6 bolt hubs.

Maybe a 6 bolt from a D-15 will work. There has been this discussion on here before. If I remember correctly the outer bearing on a 6 bolt hub is larger. You could always take your spindle to Eldale in Elmira and they will fix you up with a 6 bolt hub.

D17s were made with both 5 & 6 bolt hubs, but I dont know if they used the same spindles if they do, I'm sure a D17 hub would work on a WD45.

My 58 D17 has 6 bolt hubs from a 190, had to find different outer bearings.
