D-15 Series II Wheels & Parking Brake

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi All,

My D-15 Series II Gas Model needs new spin out rims. I'm fairly sure they're 13 x 26 and also POSITIVE I can't find anything on-line listing that size. Am I wrong on the size or are they really just that impossible to find? 

One other thing: the parking brake does not properly engage. It looks like there's supposed to be a little 'spring' that holds the part tight. That little 'spring' is missing. Any leads on where I could find something like that?  

Thanks for any help.

	13-26 would be the old size, the new equivalent would be 14.9 x 26, which is still an odd size and rather expensive.

	Give Ed Miller at Miller tire a call. There is a lot of stuff available that is not listed online. Http://millertire.com
	If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

	If the rims are not too seriously rotten (assuming that is why you need to replace them), a decent weld shop can repair them. Others will surely chime in that have done them themselves but I have a shop that has repaired some for me over the years where you cannot tell where they were done. If not rotten too bad overall from calcium leaking/rotting the inner side overall (just major material loss around the valve stem), I have the same shop sandblast them. Pin holes can also be repaired if they show up after blasting and I have my guy shoot me a price; if more than 40-50% of new rim cost, I have gone the new rim option. I like to keep the "OEM" rim when possible as some sizes of the smaller replacement power adjust wheels to do have the stop block holes drilled where the originals were, sometimes preventing stop block use with the wheel turned all the way in for the first setting. Tony's Tractors or Jim Danforth can likely both get you rims and both advertise on this site. Before I even take mine for blasting, I remove as much scale as possible myself as this is also a good time to bring the outer "flange" back into shape, not hard with a bit of practice and I have removed some deflection to bring the outer area back true. If solid enough, off to the blaster they go. Liberal use of "anti-seeze" on the cam locks going back together, new cam "dogs" and small retainer clips if needed, and check your rim rails are not worn too bad.

	That spring was used on many D series tractor parking brakes. Should be easy to find on any fence row special or one that is being parted out. AGCO might also carry them as well. You would be surprised what they still stock!

	Thanks so much for the quick responses. Yes, they're pretty well eaten away around the valve stems. It may make sense to have them welded. Otherwise it's new rims for me. I'll let everyone know how it comes out. I'll probably be using Miles Tractor in Baxley, GA for the work. They're an old Allis dealer from the 1960's who are still in business. They now specialize in Mahindra, New Holland, etc.

	Someone who's good with a mig welder can make short work of it. As long as the rusted out spot is less than half the diameter of the wheel. Get another wheel of the same diameter, and cut the patches out of it. It will save you from a lot of grinding and pounding... Here's the "old school" gas welding video...

	13 x 26 rim would be correct for the 14.9 x 26 tire. Eldon I think you are confusing rim & tire size. Not sure if 13 x26 rim is available or not. I did get 13 x 28 rims for my WD45 but the 28's are much more common. Lot of the guys are using wide 26's off combines. Check with Tony's tractor on this site or any vendor on this site.

	Yes I must have been half asleep when I read that last night. A cheaper way to do it would be to put 28's on it. I have a D15 sII that has a factory narrow wide front and 28's on the back. It has factory spacers to keep the tires from hitting the fenders as the centers have a deeper dish. You can also just put a rail stop in to keep them away.

	That looks good Eldon.
