Center Wheel bolt pattern Question

[NCmau]

I am looking for 15x24 rims and 24" center wheel 8-bolt, 6" circular pattern. Do the 1000 series Ford tractors have this pattern? I know the 8Ns do. Just curious. It would be easier for me to broaden my search. Thanks.

Yes the Hundred series Fords and also the 1000 series have the same 8 on 6" bolt pattern.
The 2600 and 3600 do too.

Ultradog maybe you or someone else could answer this:

Is the Ford 4000 rear wheel pattern the same as the 3000?
The reason I ask is that I have a 3000 with bad tires, and there is a junk 4000 up the road with good tires, and I was thinking about asking the guy if he might sell his tires with rims. I'm sure his rims are bigger, but if the hole pattern is the same, I think they would probably fit mine.
I'd like to have the front ones too, but I think anything bigger would hit the steering arms.

Thanks,
Ronnie

I have a dually set that came off of a Ford 2000 LCG tractor (1962). The center hubs have your dimensions. The rims and tires are 8 inch and not in good shape but the four center hubs are in great condition. I don't use them so if interested let me know. I live in GA.

I would be interested in two 24" centers if the shipping cost wouldn't be prohibitive. Shoot me an email.

eastexan,
Don't forget there were two different Ford 4000s.
The older 4 cylinder model and the newer 3 cylinder model.
If the 4000 you mention is the older one then yes the wheels will bolt right onto your 3000.
If it is the newer 4000 then No they will not fit your tractor.

Thanks, Ultradog.
Unfortunately, it's the newer version.

Which raises the question for those of us in the 3-cylinder 4000-class, what can we swap wheels with? 3550, 4000, 4400, 4500...what else? And no, I'm not driving from Vermont to East Texas for that set, if I even bother with wheels at all - mostly it's tires I need, and to make a decision about how much of what is parts, and how much is tractors..
