Wheels for 8450 round baler.

[travismikula]

Hi, I have a somewhat emergency situation that I could really use some help with. I bought a Case IH 8450 (guessing 1988-1990) round baler tonight but on the way home, it blew a tire. It's still about 100 miles from my home. What is on it are 6 bolt rims with 11L-15 1-1 tires on them. I have a NH 469 haybine here rotting in my field with some perfectly good road tires on it that are on 6-bolt 15" rims (forgot the exact tire size). The best I can measure, they both seem to have 6" dia bolt circle. Can anyone tell me if those wheels and tires will fit on my baler so I can get it home??

Thanks!
Travis

Very good chance they will fit as will the rims from say a Ford tractor or other tractor with the 6 bolt rims.

They should fit

Should be a match. I have a dozen wagons of various brands with common wheels. Several JD tractor fronts match as well, Gehl chopper the same, combine steering wheels the same, other machines as well. Always keep a spare handy.

Implement rims seem to be universal. I understand
the idea that you have a similar tire on hand, that is
not being used, and would be zero cost, but... If you
have to drive 200 miles round trip to get it, and it
isn?t even the same size tire, why not just bite the
bullet , and put a new tire on the balers rim and be
done with it?

Hey, thanks a lot for all the quick responses!

Yeah, I hear ya Bruce, but there are two reasons why I can't do that. 1.) I brought my 4-spoke lug wrench with me but didn't bring my big socket set. The lug nuts were larger than anything I had on the four spoke (must be 7/8") so I wasn't able to take the tire off. 2.) When the tire blew, she went right down on the rim. I pulled over immediately, but by the time I could get over to the side of the road, the rim got pretty bent up, so I don't even know if it could be used again. These rims on this haybine look exactly like the ones on the baler so I'm pretty confident they will work except maybe the lug hole size in the rims. I'm going to go give them a shot.

Thanks again guys!

All of my 6 lug rims from balers, haybine, and tractor are exactly the same.
