squonk 38,936 #1 Posted February 22, 2014 Does anybody know what hubcaps will work on a standard dump cart wheel? I'm looking for the baby moon style caps. Regular 8' caps don't fit right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted February 23, 2014 Take the plastic dust cap off they should fit WH that is, otherwize you need a deep dish cap like some aftermarket ones, maybe Simplicity they I think are deeper dished 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wheeledhorseman 573 #3 Posted February 23, 2014 I'll check mine tomorrow Mike. I assume your talking about the 'bath tub' 5 cu ft cart wheels. The one I'm restoring at the moment came with one original cap - red like the photo but being an early cart it has the WH logo moulded into it, I'll check it for size against the wheels on horses in the stable.

wheeledhorseman 573 #5 Posted February 23, 2014 Checked the measurements today. Not knowing much about these as they're pretty rare over here I assume they grip on the tubular part on the wheel rim. On the dump cart wheels this looks to be about 7 3/4 " which is the same as the front wheels of a D-200 and C-100, 120 that I have but there is only a limited depth to this profile on the dumpcart wheels compared with the tractor wheels and it doesn't look as though it's exactly parallel to the rotational axis.

squonk 38,936 #6 Posted February 23, 2014 Tried it like Kelly said. Took off the dust cap and they fit. Not as tight as I would like. Might have to tweak the clips. guess I'll be in the market for a couple of older style 8" WH caps 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,945 #9 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) "No one in CT has a pair" now, that's just crazy talk. Somebody there has to have a set. Edited February 25, 2014 by AMC RULES 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #12 Posted February 26, 2014 What? The vast network of WH owners in CT and no one has a pair? Steal them off Stevebo's Chevy! I don't think Stevebo has a set of the older caps "In Stock" I was up to his Ponderosa a few weekends ago and he gifted me a nice set of rear caps for my 417. I wouldn't feel right jackin anything off that Chevy of his! Better watch out and not park next to me at the BIG SHOW, I might swipe yours! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 38,936 #13 Posted February 26, 2014 I picked up a couple of semi baby moons at a yard sale last summer hoping they would fit. I think they are out of the late 50's or early 60's. You could slap those babies on the Chevy and he prolly wouldn't notice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
