 Topic: wc tire setup
Posted: 16 May 2024 at 10:28am |
|
i just picked up a 37 wc for my 10 year old son who is excited to have his own tractor and go pulling. it has 12.4 x 28 rears which we will stay with for now as its a stock motor. my question is on the fronts. it currently has the correct 6 bolt hubs. I have some 5 bolts from parts tractors laying around which im assuming will fit? would like to run some smaller tires on the front. Looking for advice on what vehicles i can get donut spares to fit up there, (the 5 bolt) or suggestion on minimal work to accomplish. I could buy some 3x15 b/c wheel blanks and weld in 5 bolt centers cut from old wc/wd rims but time you buy new tires, tubes and rims your looking at half the price of the tractor lol

If it was me, I'd make a set of 6 bolt centers to weld into a pair of 12" rims for 4.00X12 front tires.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Browsing the net after seeing your suggestion, i see that is a common size for trailer tires and a complete tire and rim can be had for about $75. All that would be needed is fabbing the 6 hole disc to weld in. I will look into this a little more. Thanks
