    Posted: 11 Jul 2010 at 5:17pm
I planted organic soy beans that I'm cultivating with my WD45 with rear wheel spacing of 60" center of tire to center of tire.
I want to use my two WC's with cultivators but the narrowest the rear wheel spacing gets is 66" center to center. I planted double rows of beans with only 24" between the rows, so the WC is too wide. 
Is there another brand of hub with the same bolt patterns as the WC but larger diameter? I am willing to cut and weld to make this work.
Any ideas?

In the late 30's the WC's had the steel disc wheels, if you find 2 of those I bet you can make it work. You grind the rivets off that hold the center to the rim and then you can slide the center in or out a little ways and weld it back together. Not sure how much you will gain or lose but with a welder it should work. Will the tires still clear everything else if they are narrowed up?

I think the rim will hit the break housing. I might have to go to a larger size rim. Maybe a Farmall rim that will go partially over the break housing.  But I don't know what bolt pattern Farmall used.
