B Rear Wheel Width

[KJB34269]

Heavy wheel option? That's a new one for me but so are a lot of other things as I explore the old tractor hobby. I appreciate all the comments. We head back to Florida on Thursday and return to Wisconsin in May. That is when I will dive into this and hopefully come up with the right trailer for my needs.

Heavy wheel option?

From the appearance of the center hub, it looks like you have cast iron wheel disks, rather than stamped steel. That adds about the same weight as one set of bolt-on wheel weights, roughly 300 pounds. It is a minor consideration, but has some effect on total weight and load placement for proper balance.

Thanks for that information Jim. My plan is to take my B to the local co-op and weigh it so I know exactly what I'm dealing with for towing. I did purchase a new Grand Cherokee with a tow rating on 6200 pounds so I should be good.
