DF-354 front wheels...anyone have a spare set?

[mpaschetto]

The previous owner of my tractor swapped the original AG front tires for something
that would do less damage while driving on turf. The original tires and a set of tubes
were included with the tractor, and I'd like to mount them on a second set of rims
for quick swapouts.

- Does anyone have a spare set of used front rims they'd like to sell?
- Can anyone point me in the right direction for a set of new front rims?

TIA,

Mike

extra wheels might be a little scarce. I'm getting a container together, could add a set. What size tires do you have? Is the diameter of the replacment tires the same as the original? If not I would avoid using 4wd until the correct tires are mounted.

Chip is right about not using the 4 wheel drive with those tires on. Good way to tear up an axle or gear box.

Guys,

I have been careful not to engage the 4WD for the reasons you both mentioned!

- The original equipment tires are 7.50-16, and measure roughly 30" in diameter.
- The replacements look like they're off an F-250 or something, they are 245/75-16 and measure about 28-1/2" diameter.

I can certainly see the potential for damage by operating the tractor in 4WD with those tires on the front....

Chip, I'll get ahold of you by phone today.

If the rims are the same as the Jinma 354 I have some,maybe Chip can answer that ?

I don't have a jinma to compare the bolt pattern. I know the 254 is not the same as jinma, It looks like the DF uses a larger axle, so it might be same as a 354. If someone can measure the bolt circle diameter on a JM354, I can measure one of ours to compare.

I measured up one of my DF-354 front wheels this morning, here are the results:

- Pilot diameter bore: 4.410-4.430" (112MM)
- Bolt circle diameter: 6.00" (152MM)
- Wheel stud diameter: .700" (18MM)
- Wheel width: 5-1/2"

These measurements were taken with a tape measure and a pair of crappy old
calipers, so they may vary somewhat from the theoretical figures....

My Jinma 354 appears to have a bolt circle diameter of 6 1/4" (maybe a tad more) between lug centers, the inner hole is 4". The lug nuts are 27mm.
