I needed a more concrete friendly steel wheel for my 1925 McCormick-Deering 10-20. I wanted to keep the original wheels just in case and did not want to remove the cleats.
I saw a design that was similar in a book. I had a local metal guy fabricate 1/4" steel bands with brackets. We used the original bolt holes to bolt the bracket to the wheel and welded the bracket to the band. I glued a 1" thick piece of skirtboard to the band. The band also has bolt holes in it every 12" so I can bolt the rubber to the band.
At the seam of the band, the band bends 90 degrees down for about 2" and we bolted the band tight there.
I had them sand blasted and powdercoated. I think they came out great and maintain the cleat look as best as possible.
Now I need to get it running....that is another post.
