Y'all might remember I bought a parts Wheel Horse recently basically for tires and wheels. Well, my prize is going sour. The front tires were mounted on nice rims with un-inflated tubes. When trying to inflate them one valve stem tried hard to draw itself inside the rim and the other pushed out and since it was a 90deg stem it pushed hard into the wheel till I had to pry it away with a screwdriver to deflate it again. I had the tires demounted and found the tubes have the wrong type stems. I got in the truck to go get new rims and something reminded me I'd never actually checked to see if the rims would fit the axle on my Wheel Horse or Cadet. So I did and it doesn't. The axle length on the donor was 4.5 inches and my Wheel Horse was 3.75 inches and the cadet 3 inches! Bummer. After some measuring I found out that my Wheel Horse rims were the same width despite looking larger. So I could take those tires off and put these tires on. Great! So my neighbor and I using a tire changer he has demounted the tires and then noticed how badly rusted inside the rims were and they'd actually lost so much strength the'd bent during the demounting process. So Now I need new rims. The problem is I'm now aware how many variables exist in rims. Width, axle length, axle diameter, how far in or out the wheel bearing sits inside the wheel. I'd like to find a place online where I could buy the wheels at a good price but I can't find a place that gives all the needed info to insure I get what I need. Any ideas where I could find them?

It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
