Getting ready to paint a 140. What color were the rims on that model? Same red as rest of tractor or something different? Thanks in advance.

My 140 has red front rims and silver rear rims. The front are original and the rears are replacements.

HB: I quite agree with CNKS, as it applies to the rear rims. However most 140s came from factory with front rims painted red. I have seen pre 1963 - 140 with the front rims painted white and it looked very nice, whether that was fectory painting I'm not sure. Once the 140 changed to the 04-06 type grill, I've never seen anything but red rims on front, same shade as tractor.

You see this white rim thing on all disc front wheel Farmalls from time to time, personally I think it is replacment rims that came with a nice coat of white, customer put them on and liked the white. I don't think IH ever painted front tractor rims white.

Hugh, when someone says "rims" I automatically think of the ones that are bolted to the wheel or hub as opposed to welded. Although I suppose a one-piece wheel can be called a "rim" I consider rims detachable. In the case of the 140, only the rear rims are detachable, so that's what I was talking about. Some of the utilities have white front "wheels" but that is not an all inclusive statement. So I should have said rear rims, and those that actually have detachable front rims were always silver. Don't know if I have seen a 140 in person, not any around here I know of -- I think I knew they had one piece fronts, but that is only from pictures. I think all wheels with the rims welded on had the same color rim and wheel.

CNKS: I knew that you knew the difference, and I also knew you were thinking of the detachable rims.

I have a set of black front rims on my 130, and got to admit they look quite sharp. Back when the 130 were new they had optional 4.5" x 16" front wheels available. My brother also has set of 16" wheels on his 230, both detachable rims and silver. I went looking for new 16" rims for my 130 as I have 12.4x24 on 10" rims on rear, thus it takes 6.00x16 to make tractor sit level. The 16" detachable rims aren't to be had from any source anymore. In the end I took a couple of donut spare tire rims from the last of the rear wheel drive Buicks, ground the centers out and had a fabricator make lugs turning them into detachable rims for the 130. those Buick rims are 4.5" x 16". It's in the photo gallery, complete with it's GM black rims and 6.00x16 front tires.

I am currently doing the same with my 140, just installed new 10x24 rims with new 12.4x24 rear tires. It is interesting to note, one can still buy the optional 4.5" x 16" front rims for a 140. I have a new set of rims coming from Miller Tire. I suspect they are going to be white, and I think I'll leave them white. Going to see how I like it anyhow.

FWIW, I think some of the confusion on wheel color comes from the fact that during the early years of 140 production, several of IH's models, mainly the utilities, had white front wheels/rims. I too have seen some 140's repainted with white front wheels, and it does look sharp.

The rims were either galvanized or painted a silver color, not sure when IH started having them painted, early 60's I think. There is no color code, as IH only requested that the supplier use rust protection. I use a GM rally wheel color, sort of a silver-gray color. Some people use aluminum -- that is too bright to suit me as galvanized is somewhat dull.

Try rustoleum hammered aluminum, looks good.
