| got brand new four loop wheels for my c 24 x 10 wheels guess what they only fit one way unless you drill new holes for the valve stems or they hit the axle housings so they have to be mounted on the cast wheels so the tread width all they way out it kind of looks dumb on the b with the narrow front axle also the loops will not go on the inside of the cast wheel which is how i have my c right now with the stock rims full in so i have as narrow as possible. what do you guys do to your new rims modifiey them or just live with it ?. or am i missing somthing ? i have customer c tractor here at our shop that has a b front axle here for some work it has been all repainted by some one a decent job. but it has the same wheels that i bought so i thought i would switch the wheels from side to side to narrow it up and get an idea what mine will look like thats when i found out the valve stems do not clear the axles |

| correction tires have to be mounted with the wheels turned in and valve stems out that is why i could not just switch the one we are working on from side to side |

i got a pair on a B. with the loops setting on the outside of the cast hub... and the width is correct for a B..............nover noticed a problem.... maybe specific to the "C" since it is a foot wider ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I'd just drill another hole and plug the one you don't need. AaronSEIA

my LOOPS are all the way to one side of the wheel... I think these are 9 inch wide.. They were on the tractor 10 years ago when i bought it... Tires are 11.2 inch . Total width outside to outside is 56 inches..  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

I suppose you could always cut off the loops and reweld them where you wanted to set the distance.. Then you could keep the C finals ??? I never tried to wiggle the rims over the hub and mount to the backside..... That might not be too hard on a C with removable hubs ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| the one with the valve stem holes on the wrong side will probly leave the way it came , the wheels on my c are the wedge style that gives you many tread widths and my wheels are the 5 bolt ones so they could be reversed to for cultivators |

could you take the HUB off.... Set the rim up against the fender, then put the HUB back on..... the LOOPS would be on the INSIDE of the HUB and ..... the loop is about 2 inches thick and the hub is about 1 inch, so each side would MOVE IN 3 inches... 6 inches total ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| there is only 1 1/4 between cast wheel and axle housing already thought about cutting an 1 3/8 out of the loops have to clear the bolt heads also, dosnt leave much loop left |
