I looked everywhere online, and local, and the venders on here. Shipping really killed the deal. Locally the best I could find was 2 used at Steiners, $300 and $325. I found a guy on CL in Grand Rapids, new for $298. Drive that distance was almost prohibitive. So I took the loving wife and we went to Meijer Sculpture Garden. then picked up the rim. then went on over to Holland. spent the night, and went to the beach the next day. I got my rim and also a lot of Husband Points! If you need one the contact is Tom Kurkiewicz, 616-784-2703. I found him on CL doing a search for Tractor Rim either on Grand Rapids or Central MI, I don't remember. Now I just gotta get the tires on and put on the tractor. It's been quite the journey and cost me $450 to get 2 wheels done. I have 2 complete 28" centers complete with working eccentrics for sale. I just gotta figure out a price. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

I don't understand why you now have 2 complete 28" centers complete with working eccentrics for sale. What kind of wheels do you have? What kind of rims did you buy? You have me confused......which is pretty easy anyhow...   ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

I started out with four complete rims. I salvaged one, the other three were too far gone. Now I have two complete rims and two useable centers. No worry, I'm in the same confused boat!  ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Sounds like you planned that trip just right John. I use Tom all the time. Great guy, good prices & easy to work with. I could have brought it over to you also. Ray W. |
