Oliver 770 rim

[jeffq]

I'm new to the forum post, used them to research issues and found them pretty helpful, maybe I'll get lucky with my question. Well I have my Oliver and the inside of the rim/bead cracked and bent, folding over my rim. I see there are 2 different rims that say they fit a 770, both 4.6x16, but very different. I have the 5 bolt outer loop style now, but see there is a "normal" style rim that is a 6 bolt. Is it possible the 6 bolt traditional rim will fit the hub I have? I haven't been able to chisel the clay off the rims to give a closer look. Also the "traditional" 6 bolt rim is quite a bit more affordable than the 5 bolt. Thanks, any help is very much appreciated!

No a 6 bolt implement rim will not fit the heavy cast hub.

That's what I figured, but worth a shot to ask. Much appreciated for the reply.

I have a spare 5 bolt but I'm in S WI ,I wouldn"t b afraid to straighter and weld and used are available around here.

That might be another way to go to, I though of it, but wasn't sure if it would work. I'm central Mn, probably be worth the cost of shipping vs time/fuel to drive 3+ hrs for a rim. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be much for Oliver parts within an hour or so of me. I do like the idea of pounding it back, trying to weld it, and tubing it too. Thanks for the help!

you can replace the cast 5 bolt hub with a used 6 bolt hub, then you can use a standard 6 bolt rim.

I was going to suggest this as well. My Super 88 is waiting for the conversion.

Find 1 off a tractor, they have a far heavier center in them than Wagon rims.
