DaleLicht 6 #1 Posted November 3, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaleLicht 6 #4 Posted November 3, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 8,612 #6 Posted November 3, 2018 I found a store here in Germany, they sell brand new Rims. also with Inch Ballbearings, i just don't know if they send to US, but a question cost nothing but a e-mail http://www.radundrolle.de/seiten/Felgen/Stahlfelgen/Kugelllager-Felge_450Ax6.htm the Item No: 253230WZ575 KuLa 3/4 Zoll (19,05mm) 75mm 35,2x19,05x12,5mm 26,90 € Seems exactly what you looking for. It was a Ballbearing Rim with 3/4" diameter for the Axle. this Rim is released for 300 Kilos thats about 660 pounds 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,098 #8 Posted November 3, 2018 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,160 #11 Posted November 4, 2018 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.
