Anglo Traction 759 #1 Posted November 10, 2010 Hi All, Amongst many oddities n Bodges found so far on my '74' C-120 Resto, I have odd wheels !. One is correct and the other is more narrow(approx 4 1/2" edge to edge). I would like to know if possible, which Model this narrow one came from, as I would like to find another like it (I think it is from a post '76' model). The reason being is that I have located a source of 3 Rib/4.00x 8" tyres (here in UK) and would be an easier solution to fit straight on to them , rather than find and adapt a different set. Any would be appreciated . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sorekiwi 761 #3 Posted November 11, 2010 I think most of the 60's tractors in the US had the narrow rims, although they used a wider tire on the bigger tractors (1276, 1267 etc). The wider tire is hard to find here so for my 1276 I used 4.00-8's. Vredestein make a nice 4-00-8 tri-rib that should be available in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 759 #4 Posted November 11, 2010 Thanks Jim/Mike, I had looked over the photos of the early Models (<65) and they all seemed to have Valves on the outside , this one is inside and the wheel's condition is very good with little rust compared the other standard one (and the rest of the Tractor). I suspect I'll be a long time searching for another. I'll also check out the Vredestein Brand over here. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #5 Posted November 11, 2010 The narrow wheels were used up until (and including) 1975 over here. The hub offset is a little different between the earliest ones (1962 & older, I believe) but the wheels can all take a 4.00 X 8 tire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
