Greetings all. I have just purchased my first antique tractor. Its a Farmall F14 in average condition. The PO was able to air up one tire to load it (its tubed) but the other rim, the ring wasn't good enough. This has the cutoff spokes and split rim style which I could probably make work, but I think I'd like to go modern.
I kind of knew this getting into it but I'm not seeing a whole lot of discussion of this topic or options in the market place. I also have access to the 40" cast centers, but that would need new rims as well.
So, what are my options? There are 2 phases to this. (1) - get it mobile [read cheap] and (2) get it looking nice and safe to handle [read I'll spend some money].
Buy a 38" rim, weld on new cutoffs to fit? But now I'm using 38" tires on a 36" tire tractor.
I know the Super C is a 36" but I'm not seeing any that would be a direct replacement.
I'm not really seeing anything for the 40" cast centers. I can buy tires but rims don't seem to be available.
I can't be the first with this problem? I'd like to discuss what options are for myself and any others to follow.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
