I have a rather ages Kubota tractor (my other orange tractor), B8200, that son built from two basket cases. It's a nice tractor, and runs well, but currently, it has back wheels/tires from JGL. A little too big, and hard as rocks, and the tire lugs catch on the mower deck and bent the snot out of it, plus ride up on the tire to the point that it pulls the PTO shaft apart, which the bangs around and beats itself to death, before I can even react to it. Otherwise sorta works They are on it because the only wheels/tires he had for it are rotted out. The original wheels are 13.6 x 6. It seems this model tractor, was an odddball. It is hard to find anything for it salvage wise. the wheels, and the turf tires have proved to be made of unobtanium.
So, I need a similar sized wheel and tire, used, and cheap that I can weld the inside of the current wheels into so it fits on the tractor.

so I'm wondering whats's the correct size..
13.5x6 would be a close 'riding mower' size for the fronts.

Dave GOOD TIP!
He's looking for an exact match, that failing, he has a set off a Ford is pretty close to the same size that I would need to adapt

would that make it a Kuforda?

I gots one thats a IHota, gots farmall weights on the kubota rims!  Ugliest tractor I have, has a 4' bush hog on it, so I don't care! It often goes through the ugly forest, and gets slapped by every branch...Wink

Do your rims have a 6bolt pattern, in 6" circle, or is it bigger? I got a set of American rims(came offa the front of an American tractor) to put on my B2100, when I finally wear out the rear turf rims.

Mine is mostly B8200, like I said my son built it out of two basket cases. He also put a turbocharger on ! I don't know that it did much un the HP dept, but is sure sounds cool! He had it looking real nice, but I have run it hard and put it to bed wet quite a bit
Anyhow, 5/8 inch bolts, or, maybe 9/16, 5 7/8 inch bolt pattern, hole is 4 5/16.

I had called half dozen tractor recyclers with no help, most weren't really interested in help, but I think that is because they were more geared with big equipment, despite their adds on the net.
This is pretty cool finding someone specializing in compacts
