Front Rims for B9200 Needing a used pair

npalen · Jul 2, 2012

These are 12"x7" to take 23 x 8.50 x 12 tires The 6-bolt BCD is 115mm (4.53") and the pilot is 69.5mm (2.74") Two piece rims are standard on this model but single piece would be fine.

Let me ask then if there is a reason for the two piece wheel rims on the Kubota? I suspect that it is economy of manufacture but perhaps another reason such as easier mounting/dismounting of tires?
The ones on my B9200 have been reinforced by a previous owner probably from too much weight on the loader. I'm going to either replace them, which seems doubtful at the moment, or repair them with some laser cut weld-in centers with the six bolt holes, probably from 1/4" plate. The original two halves appear to be made from 3MM (little under 1/8") thickness.

Edit: Might mention that the two halves that make up the wheel rim appear to be identical with the exception of the valve stem hole.

Any thoughts on why Kubota used two piece rims? Any harm in welding them together as one with the lasered center mentioned above?
Thanks.

2 piece were easy to mount tires on by splittting the rim but were prone to cracking ( I think due to shifting)My 2150 cracked one rim, then the other. Order the one piece replacement and you'll be all set forever....

I have a brand new pair of heavy duty front rims
That I was going to use on my B9200, but didn't.
I don't plan on using them, and would like to sell them. If you are interested, I'll give you the exact size, price, & post some images.

That should be a common size with B8200, B2150, B2710, B2910. All those had the same size tires.

Would anyone have other contact information for Randy that you could PM to me? I sent him a PM but I don't think he checks in here very often.
Thanks
