motor12 357 #1 Posted April 1, 2018 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,039 #2 Posted April 1, 2018 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Racinbob 10,204 #4 Posted April 1, 2018 Take a look at the vintage brochures here. Typically, back then, the fronts were outside and the rears inside but there are exceptions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RandyLittrell 3,797 #5 Posted April 1, 2018 If looking for used wheels, other tractors used different backspacing and valve stem placement. Just be aware. Randy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
