I can not tell by the size, but I have one that is on legs, it is definatly used for taking steel wheels, and making cut offs for tractor rears.
If it is for tractors, you adjust the (fender to rim width) using the three --this on has one missing) little redi rod ordeals to keep the exact spacing.
They had a rod with a washer on the end that could be adjusted with a screw. You put the tip of the cutting torch in the washer, and it made a perfect circle. This would be the same size as your new cut off rubber tire rims.
I was told that when welding the spokes, you always welded everyone except the last one. You were then supposed to drink one adult beverage, and then weld the last one. Other wise the welds could break from stress.
I purchased mine for twenty five dollars, and everyone wanted to know what it was.
If you watch alot of tractors run down the road with cut offs, the rear wheels go from side to side. Not when you use this unit properly.
