M.E. Miller tire (and other suppliers) has blank rims, they have some centers too but not sure if the right ones. You could cut the centers out of an old junk set and build your own. Having said that, getting the centers out of the junkers might be a challenge!

If you are thinking about putting rims like that on make sure the hub hole is the same size…

Well well well, here I’m back again, but I’m hoping this is could turn out as a silly question!!
So the tractor has been running good and I’ve been using it for odds and ends with a snap coupler dirt scoop and today I decided to hook on to the 13’ disc and well I went to pick it up with the hydraulics and it took what so forever felt like to pick the disk up…
It was always pretty fast before I replaced all the O-rings, gaskets, and seals in the pump so I'm going to take a guess that I screwed something up in it…
Any ideas to start with would be appreciated!!

Well today me and my dad started it up and it ran, after an embarrassing moment of forgetting to move the kill lever to the on position it fired right up…
Than after it warm up it started blowing sparks out the exhaust pipe so I shut it down right away before it lit something on fire in the shop.
Not quite sure what was causing it to do that but I’m going to guess that the fuel cleaner I put in the fuel had something to do with it….

As I read thru this thread today you have been given excellent advice from really good mechanics that have a lot of knowledge on AC engines. Yet, you have not taken their advice and wonder why failures continue. A bit of advice, if you continue to expect support from the forum I would suggest you adhere to their advice or else at some point everyone will throw their hands up in the air and stop helping you. Your not only getting great advice, it’s free.

So I got the pump back all rebuilt and looking like new with some news that most of everything was wore out and pretty much one pin was holding it together from the rpms going to the end of space and back!!

Well I found a bunch of shims, so I added all of them to it and when I get it back together I will either add or take away shims.
Now I think all that’s wrong with it is a pin that was missing that I think I found broken in half in the oil, so I called my local AGCO dealer and priced a new one, problem is that the little baby pin is $43 so I’m either screwed over money wise or tractor wise....
I did however take the injection pump off and into my local diesel shop last week to get new O’rings and they thought that the governor ring? was missing/broken and that was the cause it leaked so bad. They are supposed to call me in the morning with more info.

Just search for Shim Stock on the internet. You'll find lots of thicknesses and suppliers.

How many shims should be in the hand clutch with new disks, it was wore so bad it didn’t have any shims left so I put new disks in but don’t have any shims at all.

Engine harmonics tend to do bad things to drive lines with solid hub drives.

I’m not sure...
I found 2 different types of them so I’m really confused about which one is a heavy duty one?
