tractor salvage

deere755 · Jun 5, 2007

I am trying to find a salvage yard online that would have rims and tires for my 755 john deere. I am wanting to go to ag tires and I need to change rims to do so. Everywhere I have looked I have came up empty any ideas.

Here's one I found that's across the border, maybe they can help.

Google "Sikeston, Mo tractor salvage" and go from there. There are miles of tractor graveyards down there and you may find them. Mostly they have bigger machinery and combines but you may get lucky.

Have you tried West Kentucky Tractor Parts? They always seem to have what I need or they are able to find it.

How far are you from Idabel, OK? Brinkley's is a huge auction up there and there are always rims, tires, salvage tractors and such. I think once a quarter they even have a special salvage sale to clean up the yard.

I bought my boxblade at Brinkley's. The salvage sale is just like the other auctions, except it is for stuff that is either not running or not all there.
They basically sell everything at each auction, so there isn't any yard to clean up. They do have some "new" stuff that tends to stay there longer, but that is about it.

Well I have tried everywhere mentioned on here all most anyway and I am having 0 luck finding wheels and tires. I appreciate all ths suggestions and please keep them coming. I am needing a 9.5-16 wheel and tire.

Tires are usually available pretty easily. The problem you are probably having is with needing the rims also. I had exactly what you are looking for that I used for the outside set of tires when I ran duals on my 4x4 Ford 1100.
I sold the tires and kept the rims. Unless I am completely mistaken, they are like new, sitting upstairs in my garage. If you are interested in them, measure your bolt pattern and let me know what it is, and I will check it against them. They were new take offs from a Bolens tractor and fit my Ford 1100 exactly also.
Probably best to sent me a PM or email.

Good to see you offering up. It's always nice to find just the right thing to make life a little easier.

There's a guy in Shippensburg, PA who specializes in compact tractors, I don't have his name handy, But he advertises in the lancaster farming newspaper, and you might be able to find that on line. He was very reasonable when I needed some lift arms to fit a grey market Kubota.

They sure don't look as good as I thought they ought to, since I have had them stored for 15 years, and they were made in 1986. They were run with air only in them.

Deere says your 755 gets 12 x 5 (AM102094) or 12 x 7 (AM102095) and a 6 x 12 R1 tire or a 7 x 12 tire for 4WD. they say you want a 23 x 8.50 - 12 in R4 if you are considering them.

in the rear, you need an AM102099 16 x 6 used with a 7.2-16 or 8.3-16 R1 tire. An AM102098 (16 x 8) or AM119728 (16.5 x 9.75) on 12 x 16.5 R4 tires.

The 4WD issues are to keep the tires from scrubbing during extended use on hard pavement. You guys might also want to debe the R1 & R4 directionality, since loader work usually benefits from having traction in the direction you need it most. (I dig out the swamp a lot and therefore I need the traction in reverse, not forwards). Therefore I have the 'preferred' direction reversed. I got this from the owners manual, so its not just my wild and scary imagination.

zzvyb6,
I don't suppose you have the bolt pattern size in your bag of tricks, do you?

Here is a card from the folks where I located the oil tube for my Ford 1300. They have several different brands listed, no website, but they may be able to help. They are half way between Commerce and Ladonia in Texas.

sandman2234 · Jun 25, 2007

Guess I will go put the rims back in storage for another 15 years.

I know it's been a while since you posted this thread and you may not check it but I thought I'd try. I'm trying to find old, beat up tire rims from tractors to use as fire rings at our youth camp. We need a minimum of 8 rims. Do you still have yours, and what size are they? Do you know of anyone who may be able to help me?
Thank You,
Jana
