npjstables 0 #1 Posted June 28, 2016 I just bought a 4 wheeled wagon and I need to replace the rims but all the rims I have found would require spacers to make them to the size of the ones that are on here does anyone have any suggestions or know where I can get the right rims for my wagon?

953 nut 51,769 #2 Posted June 28, 2016 If you know the year of manufacture on the wagon I believe the front rims from that year's larger tractor should be right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTOM 124 #4 Posted June 29, 2016 I just looked at my 1974 4 wheel wagon's wheels and the closest it compares to is a rj35. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,041 #6 Posted June 29, 2016 May I ask why the rims need to be replaced? I would be interested in the originals if you are going to replace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
npjstables 0 #7 Posted June 29, 2016 Planing on restoring and I don't know how much pitting there will be if I sandblast the rims Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOM 124 #8 Posted June 29, 2016 Those wheels look very restorable. Its worth the effort to sand blast, fill, sand, prime, and paint to keep the original wheels. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,157 #11 Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) These have worked very well for me, but the wheels will wear quickly if you get them in a bind.I usually use the one for the mini grinder. The brushes are slower, but much more durable. A variable speed drill for the brushes that reaches higher speed is preferable. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=abrasive+wheel Both product pictured are pretty kind to the metal and do not leave severe marks like a sandpaper wheel. They probably cut the work in half or better, and your hand sanding can start with a finer grit. The brushes are better in tight places like inside curves in wheels. The wheels take off old paint very well and can even make the steel look shiny. I hate to see people leave big grind marks in sheet metal as it is pretty hard to fill them in later. The wheels are outstanding on stuff like sheet metal that has no protruding parts. They are about the same thing as liquid paint stripper in how the metal looks afterward. If you have raw steel with mill scale, the wheels are just outstanding in quick removal. I am seeing more brand name wheels at Lowes for a higher price, but they look like better quality Try them and you will wonder how you lived without them, at least that is how I feel.
