Nobody makes reproduction flat spoked ones for the WC. There are ones out there that can be repaired to like new by http://minnkotarepair.com/steeringwheel.html" rel="nofollow - http://minnkotarepair.com/steeringwheel.html Call around to guys that part tractors out and find an original. It cost $65 plus the ride to have one redone. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Did even the unstyled '38s have a flat spoke just before the style change? Wondering if they did not. ------------- Galatians 5:22-24 "I got a pig at home in a pen and corn to feed him on, All I need is a pretty little girl to feed him when I'm gone!" |

| Don My unstyled 38 had covered round spokes and the center hub was coated. I've never seen another like it. I don't know for sure that it was original. |

I almost have everything i need to get it done. I still need to figure out what im going to do with the rear tires i have steel wheels right now got the rims but there just about junk. But i've allways liked the unstyled wc's looks |

The only reason I am thinking they could have used round spoke, is because our family WC had spoke before a restore. It had been painted once since new, so It may have been replaced. But that was many years ago. Good chance that steering wheel in the picture came new on the tractor.
