Does anyone know anything about these wheels? Thanks, Joe
  I found this pic with these wheels on an unknown tractor. They look to be exstensions.

Those are cool. No idea what they fit. Glad I don't have them or I'd have to buy a tractor to put them on. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

I was going to guess that they were 'UC' rear steel, until I noticed that the wheels on the UC have 6 bolt locations. Not 8 bolt locations like the steel in your pictures.
Might not be for an allis. ------------- 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!" |

Here is an Avery with a big 8 pattern. Hard to tell how big yours are.

Maybe Cockshutt.
That pic didn't work.

Not for 8N or 2N, they are 6 bolt. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Joe, I've never seen a tractor like that, what is it? Do you have a side pic of it? Don't usually see skeletons and flats mated up. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Lonnie, I'm impressed with your knowledge of tractors. The tractor in the above picture turns out to be a 1929 Cockshut Hart-Parr 18-28 according to 'Vintage Farm Tractors' By Ralph W. Sanders. These steel wheels are also found on some Olivers but with a different attachment setup.
Look hard enough online and you can find almost anything. So I guess I answered my own question...lol. ------------- Joe's 1939 Model WC, 1940 Model RC, 1944 & 1950 Model C's, B-125 PU |

The tractor in your above picture is actually from 1935 or later. Oliver began production of the 18-28 in 1929, but Cockshutt didn't start selling the Oliver 18-28 in Canada until 1935. The Cockshutt name cast into the top rad tank didn't appear until sometime in 1936. Cockshutt continued to sell this tractor, by now known as the Cockshutt 80, until 1946. In 1947 they came out with their own tractor which was the Cockshutt 30. (From the book "About Cockshutt" by Wm. H. Cockshutt.) |

"Help Indentifying Steel Wheels"
You can idenfify a steel wheel because it's made out of steel instead of aluminum.

| Cockshutt Plow Company in Canada sold the Allis Chalmers 20-35 until the mid 1930's when they replaced it with the Oliver. They also sold the Oliver 70 here as a red painted Cockshutt 70. New nose piece with the Cockshutt name and new decals. |

| As to identifying the wheels, which was the original question, They look to me like a made up set. The original skeleton wheels appear to have had the centers cut out and an old wagon rim from a wood-wheeled wagon welded in and then the tabs welded on to the inside of that to fit the Cockshutt 80 cast hubs; if those wheels are from that tractor in the picture. Maybe an Amish conversion from the original rear rubber on the '80'?? |

| I agree with the Oliver idea. I think they would be for the standard tread Oliver 80. IF they were close to MO, I would be very interested in them. |

| On closer examination, I think Phil is right (again) Look at the picture on the link attached. http://www.johnweeks.com/tour/oliver/pages/hpoca2010-hp-18-27-narrow.html - http://www.johnweeks.com/tour/oliver/pages/hpoca2010-hp-18-27-narrow.html |
