Forestry4Life 9 #1 Posted February 21, 2014 Looking to add dual rear wheels to my 58 RJ. What other years had the same rear wheels that I could use. 12-6 is what I have now. I haven't had any luck finding any "RJ" wheels, didn't know if some of the later models had the same rear tire set up. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,941 #2 Posted February 21, 2014 The Suburban's, up to the '64 model year. Pretty sure they used the same 6-12 rear wheels too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forestry4Life 9 #3 Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks, that will give me more options! If anyone has any I'm in the market for some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clintonnut 126 #6 Posted February 23, 2014 Try finding Cub Cadet (did I just say that?!?!) rear 6-12 tires/wheels. Same stamping but valve stem is on the outside making it easy to fill up the outboard tires with air if needed. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forestry4Life 9 #8 Posted February 24, 2014 Thanks guys, I am bidding on some on ebay right now maybe I'll get them. Charlie if this doesn't work out I'll widen my search to include cud cadet. Hammerhead that looks tough. My 5 yo would love to carry one like that to the antique tractor pulls. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 721 #9 Posted February 24, 2014 Keep in mind that, if the tractor is going to be driven often, the extra weight of the wheel/tires puts a little extra load on the tranny and engine as well as beats on the hubs too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forestry4Life 9 #11 Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks Craig, y'all gonna keep on! Those things are sharp. I love the way they look. I never got the Kohler going that I was working on but I put a Wisconsin slant cyl on it and it works great! Painted the motor shroud yesterday (used vintage IH red). Real good match. Also the motor being a slant cyl got the spark plug in the clear of the hood cowling. I know for the purest this is a sin but it got it going so Reese can drive it around. I'll continue to tinker with the Kohler as I get time and patience! I added some pics of Reese trying it out before I got the motor painted, he was one happy fella to have his horse back running! Thanks again guys 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
