alann: I talked with a local supplier of new parts for older tractors. He had just got a new shipment of rims that he said obviously came from a different factory than they had been coming from.

He had sold one set of 28" rims for one of the popular Utility type tractors. The guy he sold them to had to grind about 1/16" off his hubs to mount them. He wished the guy had brought them back for a refund. I was looking that day for a new set of rims for my 130. He had them in stock, but said he wouldn't sell them until he found if they mount right. His argument, if it didn't fit it wasn't a replacment rim.

I suggested it my not be as much fun grinding 1/16" off that cast hub of the 130. The pressed steel hub would grind off quite easily. The point is once you grind a 1/16" off your hub, then a properly engineered rim will never stay tight. He asked me to hold off as he wasn't going sell rims that weren't up to specs. Watch that one guys, his customer didn't notice until he had new tires on the rims.
