In 1958 the local IH dealer where I lived had 4 Farmall 130s and 6 Farmall 230s on his lot with 6:00x16 front tires. My brother has one of these 230 yet. I bought replacment rims for my 130 and had to take 15" rims. Can anyone tell me a supplier of new 4" x 16" rims that will fit these tractors. Thank you.

Hugh, I believe that Miller tire in Wauseon Ohio has blank rims in the 400x16 size for around $42.00 each. If you need rims with mounting dogs, that may be a stretch. My guess is that thats what you need, and I'm of no help at all.

Paul: I already have the blank rim remedy, I did a bit of grinding and removed the centers from a couple of donut spare rims from rear wheel drive Chevy Caprices. Problem now is the mounting dogs, I have a set from a pair of Super A front wheels but they would need spacers under them. The actual depth of the drop center on the Chevy rim is the same as SA rim. The width of the drop center is about 1/4 wider but that really doesn't matter as the whole rim is an inch wider. 15" SA rim being 3" wide and 16" rim being 4" wide. My brothers 230 rims are 4" wide. We never did stir him too much on YT discussions did we, I haven't heard tell of him since. He did tell me his problem was pilot bearing and he was going to send some photos.

Getting back to wheels, I just trying to decide if I can fabricate dogs that will look right. I placed the Chevy rim over the cast center of 130 front wheel and to center the wheel it takes exactly 7/8" spacer at each of the three mounting points. I'm thinking about rolling 3/4 x 1-1/2 flat bar into curve of rim, cutting it into 4" pieces, weld them to the rim, then weld 1/2 x 1-1/2 flat bar in for lugs to bolt on with. I can then build up the inside of the curved 3/4 x 1-1/2 with bead welding and grind to a taper so it works like the original for tightening.

Then it would probably be a whole lot less expensive if someone happend to sell what I need.

Hugh, Welding 3 dogs on each rim shouldnt be all that hard, you can use some angle iron for that matter, then make spacers to go between the dogs and the hub casting. The old style were just that except that the spacers were an integral part of the angle piece. As long as you have your bolt hole pattern right so that your hub is centered right, I think you have the problem about whipped. You're right, we didnt seem to inspire your brother to spend much time here on YT. Oh well, we cant convert everyone....
