I got my front rim today, met up with HillbillyOH a few miles from here and played with his tractors for a little while. I got the rim home and found it is a 5 bolt rim and i have a 6. First job was removing the old rim, then i took my new grinder and removed the bolt heads and pounded the rim off the wheel thing (that attatches to the spindle) but it diddnt want to move so i had to drill through the bolts to the wheel, through the rim, then seperated the 2 with a hammer, then cleaned it up. I'll have to pick up a few bolts for it and drill some new holes in the wheel, but i think it'll work. The new rim apperes to have a spare tire from a car on it, but its better then the tire on the old rim and will do until i get a pair of 3 ribs for it.

You want to be bang on if drilling new holes in the rim. I don't know if the old rims have a raised lip around the hole to help keep the lug nuts tight. The proper rim would be better. Dave
 
no, its the little disk that the rim bolts to, where the little bolts were, theres a lip about 1/8 inch
 
I feel bad about selling you the wrong rim, Lanse. I had no idea the B/C rims were different. Let me know if you want to exchange/refund.

You did a good job driving the M and the C! Next time we'll put you to work raking hay or spreading manure. :)
 
Thats ok, honest mistake. I'll try what im doing, or mabey i can find the right little wheel thing. That rim is in great shape, and i'd like to use if if at all possible....and thanks :-)
