dayton wheels

[Anonymous-0]

Have a 1936 c30 1.5 ton international stake truck with dayton wheels and Goodyear K type(Ibelieve0 diagonally split rims. All 6 tires need replacement. Don't mind losing the split rims but i don't want wide schoolbus sized tires that seem to be necessary with the newer 22.5 inch solid rims. Current rotted tires are mixture of 6.50 x 20 and 7.00 by 20. Anyone know what my options are . The old rims are serviceable but unsafe to work on.Thanx

find some 20 inch wheels cut the centers out of all the wheels and weld the centers in from your truck

You can buy 6.00 -20 or 6.5-20 tires and tubes from the Model "A" Ford Catalogs. Old trucks are popular now. (Snyders,Batton's,and a bunch of others.

Anyone that has old trucks can deal with the split rims without getting hurt. Some people wrap chains around them or fill them with a remote hose nozzle or put them in a cage. I've heard of putting forklift forks over them so if they did let go you would have a protective guard. Once it is aired up I think it is safe.

I'm not sure what 22.5 tires would be but that could be a problem. Sounds like you are dealing with 20 tires which are not hard to find.Cleddy

I just put new tires on my grain truck. It has widow makers. I didn't have any problems finding someone to do it, but the nearest town is a 3000 person farm town. They are used to working on our stuff. I think the coop would do it but that would have been the next town over. I don't go any farther than I have to at 45 MPH.

"serviceable but unsafe"??? Take them to a tire shop that does heavy truck/farm tires.They have the knowledge and equipment to do the job safely.

if you don't get them lined up they sure live up to the name "wobble wheels"
