rlgustafson and downslope, Those are power adjust wheels but nothing like the originals and not interchangeable.

So what do you think these rims would be used for? Obviously they would require an interchangeable, compatible center section. Maybe they're meant as replacements for the later 3 cylinder Ford tractors?

Yes they are a much more common style. Here's a video showing the old Ford style that I was referring to.

I stand corrected. When looking for images or videos of these old Ford spinouts, I found a reference that Walt's Tractor sells some of these old style replacement rims.

For those with odd wheels and a fat wallet, Unverferth can cut the centers out of wheels and weld in one of their centers with the correct bolt pattern and center hole that you want. I had it done once and they do an absolutely perfect job. Flawless workmanship.

I had 30" wheel centers with a Ford bolt pattern and I wanted the standard 8 bolt on an 8" center with a 6" center hole so I could use on a different tractor. No problem.

Nothing yet, picking at it myself. Down with a sinus bug now, bit me hard yesterday. New tube for the tire arrived so looking into getting that switched out.
