JD Unstyled B Spoke front wheels

[treeman53]

Will the unstyled B spoke wheels fit on 1936 BR?

Apparently, the answer is a big "NO". Are there any other spoke wheels that will fit BR? I really want spokes on the front (with rubber).

The parts book shows AB809R as the round spoke rubber tire wheel for the BR/BO.

And, it appears, very hard to find. I have a set of front steel wheels, I will have to find someone who can cut them, and weld a rim on.

I wouldn't ruin a expensive set of front steel for a BR by cutting them down. Contact Pat Detwiler in Colby Wi. and see if he has any wheels. He can be found on the John Deere Two-Cylinder Facebook page. Or maybe someone there has something you're looking for.

Completely agree. Don't cut down those wheels! Maybe use them as trading stock to find what you need?

If you aren't concerned with originality and are ok with a cutoff or re-rim, it makes it a little easier. Somebody mentioned Pat and he would be a good one to check with. You could check with Ryan Lind (Linds Bros) as well, he seems to take in a lot of parts tractors.

I think "ruining" an expensive set of front steel will probably be easier than trying to find a set of rubber ready spokes.

It may take you a couple of years of diligent searching to find the wheels you are looking for but that will still be quicker than having Pat Detwiler cut down your steel wheels.
