I've got a set of 30" centers and they don't look like this. Price seems decent so far...

Not like the ones I've seen on 185. They had the newer, one-bolt wedges, not eccentrics. Also, offset is in the wrong direction and the weight holes should be square, not round. It would probably fit just fine, as nearly all 8 bolt hubs interchange. ------------- The innovators offer what others will imitate. |

Dave from what I have heard of this seller he would just tell me to go take a hike! Here is a pic of the ones I have....like Russ says, they use the one piece wedge. I highly doubt it is AC, since the wedge had been used since the D17 SIII.

I think the heads of the eccentric bolts look like the small square type like a CA would have. Oliver used those lighter eccentrics and I'd bet Massy did too. They twist off easy. I don't think they are Allis at all. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| Just kidding Eldon, I love that 175. Had a chance to buy one a few years ago, but the family voted for food. |

I agree with Nathan, they look like David Brown. ------------- |

| Of the several English made tractors I have had (David Brown and Nuffield), the wheel centers were smaller than an Allis. |

| I have a pair like that. They're off of a Massey. They do bolt up but as mentioned, the offset is different - wheel is farther out from fender. HTH Ed |
