I am restoring my first WD and I need a new rear rim. I have found one locally for sale but I’m not sure if it’s the right size. My tire size is 13.6-28 on a 12-28 rim (that is what it says on the tire). Below are photos of the rim I am looking to buy. I think it’s a 11-28 but I’m not sure. Anyone know?

| From your pictures that apeats to be a 10x28 rim.why dont you stick the tape between your rim and center and measure it. I think my WD 45 had 10x28 rims on it |

From your measurement, from bead to bead it appears to be a 9" rim. Would probably work but you should measure the old rim or the rim on the other side and match it. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

It sure does look like a 9" X 28"......seems unusual......the narrowest I've seen is 10". I notice some very legible stamped letters and numbers right under your ruler......I bet you could clean them up real well and find the rim size printed there.

| 10's, 11's and 12's on WD and WD45's. D-17's were mostly 13's with some late models maybe 15, but I've never seen one. |

| After looking closer, I'm inclined to believe this is a common 10" X 28" rim. |
