I did this on my D J.D. I bought new lugs and then I measured the OD of the wheels. I then bought two 1/2" x 4" pieces of flat stock and cut them about two ft. longer than the OD. A friend of mine works in a machine shop and he curled them to a diameter about 4" smaller than the OD of the wheel. I then bought angle iron that was the same heigth as the lugs. I drilled holes in the angle iron and bolted them on the wheel between the lugs. I then wraped the flat stock around the wheels,welded hooks about three feet from each other on opposite end of the flat stock, pulled them tight with a comealong and welded it to the angles. I then cut the excess flat stock off.The angle that was at the ends of the flat stock, I cut short enough to weld a piece on the top to make a T. I drilled two 3/8 holes in each end of the flat stock and four holes in the T and bolted them together. Now I can remove them by unbolting one end of the flat stock and then the angles from the wheels. If I had to do it over, I would use 3/8" flat stock. It only covers one row of lugs but, that's all you need. Then you can wrap rubber around it.
