 Topic: D-15 series 2 Rear wheel
Posted: 31 Mar 2020 at 10:20am |
Hi All, I've been a follower of this forum for a long time. I have a D-15 in need of a rear wheel
Can any one tell me what the cheapest options are available. I'm in Massachusetts and there are not a lot of dealers that know much about them around the eastern part of the state. I use the tractor mostly for property work, it has the L-200 front loader.
My wife grandfather whom I got the machine from had set it up with a Davis backhoe.
If I can figure out how I'll upload a picture or two
The tire and rim size is 14.9 - 26/13 - 26. I also saw that some John Deere tires and rims may fit so that also an option.
Here is a YouTube link of my 12 year old pushing snow 2 years ago. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Bill

When I needed new rims I ordered them from OK tractors they showed up at the tire shop in A few days. The tire shop put the tires on and I hauled home. While not the cheep solution I believe it to be the best solution for a bad rim. You get brand new Titian rims that will out last my life time and probably my teenage son as well. I've put new rims on three tractors and not regretted it. I have however bought good looking used rims and after removing the good looking paint found the paint was the only thing holding them together. Bite the bullet now get two new rims and never worry about it again.

If you are good at fabricating, I hear that you can buy just the wheel and take the adjusting bars off the old wheel and weld them on the new wheel.

Thank you for the replies. Shipping a wheel from OK to Mass might me expensive.. lol I Might look at welding the though. If I weld it I would think I could seat the tire with the back hoe. I called a couple of local places here in Mass and they were not much help. I think I'll call some of the dealers advertised in the website just to see what they have to say.
Thank you -Bill

Almost any 8 bolt wheel will bolt on. If you don't need the power adjust, Gleaner A wheels will fit, they are 14.9-26.

Any 8 hole 26 or 28 rim will fit. I had a couple of yellow ones on my D14 when I first got it. The pressed steel rims will be your cheapest fix. If you switch to 28" you will need to do both sides. 14.9 x 28's will fit just fine on that tractor.

I've got 3 combine rims on 3 of my D-14s. As long as you don't need to adjust the width, they'll be fine, and CHEAP. Rims are 26", 8bolt, 8" bolt circle.

Billman, Welcome to the Forum. I enjoyed the video. Looks like someone taught the 12 year old well, like keeping the bucket low to avoid higher center of gravity/tipping problem. Bob@allisdowneast

Thank you Bob, Yes I barely get to drive it any more. Whenever we have some work to do he jumps in it before I can. My older son tore it apart and basically rebuilt it at 17. He repainted it. I have some great pictures, If I can figure out how to upload them. It has the snow bucket on in the video, But i also have a dirt bucket and 6 ft rototiller for the back. Although I don't have much use for the roto tiller. There is another video of my older son doing some dirt work on that channel also. I love the machine, Its been reliable and this thing is a beast. -Bill

New rim will prolly cost you about 250-300 bucks, you might as well get it as close to home as possible, and save the shipping...  You might try Sandy Lake equipment, a site sponsor and see some money go back to Darrin!

Miller Tire in Oh also has rims available at a reasonable price.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.

Who you buy the rim from doesn't make much differance in shipping price since they are drop shipped from the factory. Your local tire dealer can probably get them for the same price they just roll the shipping into the rim price. You can buy a blank and weld your rails on the shipping will be about as getting the correct rim in the first place. One of my WD 45s had combine rims I hated them there is no way to set the wheel spacing. So your stuck with to wide to fit on the trailer or thru the barn door.
