1977 B-80 front wheels

Recommended Posts

Everyone,

I have my rear tires getting mounted to my painted rims.  I want a backup set of front rims to paint and mount so I can swap around as I work on this thing.  I have a set of tires but are there any new wheels anyone knows of that would fit properly.  I guess I don't understand the offset yet.  The inside of the rim that holds the bearing is flush with the rim and the rims have a 16x6.5x8 tire.  Just want a good set then I can keep cutting grass while I redo this set.

With the e3xception of the 520, D, and 418-C the front rims are all rather interchangeable.

Not all are the same, the early Wheel Horse hubs were 4 " long then they changed to 3 3/4" like what's on you B-80  They change some time in the 60's not sure when. 

Most new wheels found for sale have 3" hubs  I used a couple of collars and some washers behind them on my Raider 12..

I’m just stripping the paint off this weekend and getting them painted.  I have new front tires that will be here Friday.  I can push mower for a week if I need too.  My raider has an even more narrow wheel so can’t swap them.
