Wheel air valve location

Recommended Posts

On the older tractors (60s) I see some wheels with the air valve facing to the out side and some inside. Is there a correct way to do this , does it make a difference?

Depending on the backset of the wheel you may be able to do it either way but in most cases the tire will rub on something if you mount it valve stem out.

Either way if it doesn't rub. They were on the inside from the factory so the wheel weights (without a groove for the stem) could be mounted plus they're not as exposed to getting damaged

Take a look at the vintage brochures here. Typically, back then, the fronts were outside and the rears inside but there are exceptions. :)

If looking for used wheels, other tractors used different backspacing and valve stem placement. Just be aware.
