4100 Front Rim

[chris1226]

I need some help finding a front rim for a 2000 Deere 4100. Deere doesn't carry the part anymore and I've exhausted all my contacts without success. The Deere PN is AM879344 and holds a 5-12 R1 tire. Thanks in advance!

Well, in the interest of trying to help the next guy who comes along. After searching salvage yards across the country, I ended up having a local fabricator cut the middle out of the wheel and weld a plate in. Works like a champ, but I'll still be on the lookout for an intact wheel. Turns out the big iron is much easier to find parts for than the compacts.

I have repaired many tractor wheels like this. A few around a rotted valve stem hole and two where the center around the lug holes was cracking. Way easier and cheaper than finding a new rim.
