C165 front wheel/rim replacement

[DaleLicht 6]

Hello Wheelhorse Fans,

I have a 1984 C165, and the front rims are rusted and deteriorated to the point where I don't think they would hold air without tubes in them, and I am actually worries about the tire coming off the rim. I would like to replace them. Any retro fit info would be greatly appreciated since I can not locate the OEM, or Used rims for sale.

Thank you,

Dale

So after looking a little more thoroughly, the part number I am looking for is #105882. The wheels referenced by Pete, are incorrect. I could not find any on Ebay and it is a discontinued. Saw nothing in the classifieds section either. Any info is appreciated.

Thank you

They would still work. Just different design probably

any time I get a chance to buy wheels , I get them , a bearing change, clean up , Navajo white paint , and fluid film to mount tires , that also prevents rust issues in rims. I just like the old school look of a 8" front wheel, keep it simple , pete

Can't hurt to post in our "Wanted" section.

  Sometimes it's easier to buy an entire tractor just for parts. For less than a pair of new front rims I bought today a C121 that was previously dismantled. Came with everything including two Kohler 12's, two 8 speed granny's with hubs, a pair of rear rims with tires and piles of other items...and of course front rims ( sorry, not for sale). Just another way to score a set of rims

Couldn't find an automatic Granny? My grannies make better cookies when they are automatics...with or without hubs...

Probably many rims will interchange......from what I've found the axle length is pretty much the determining factor - IIRC falls in the 3 to 4" lengths. A couple time I have used a rim that was a 1/4-1/2" shorter and used a spacer to make up the difference. But unless they are REALLY bad I just put tubes in.

Haha! Late night posting and a real finicky spell check on my I-pad strikes again!

Thanks to everyone for your help. I was able to purchase a used wheel from A-Z Tractor.
