520 front rims

[KrazeyOlDave 860]

Folks, I’ve used the search in here and nothing. Question is, my 8” front rims are rusted bad. Is there an alternative that fits the same? (Deere and so on) 

Id even buy a decent set if anyone has 2 nice ones.

If you have a 1990 and above 520-H, you could convert to a 4-bolt trailer hub.

One advantage that trailer rims have,other than being new, is that flat tires are easier to repair.The hub does not have to be demounted just the rims. I have this setup on one of my 520s.Though pictured on a 312-8 this is what they look like.I got the rims from Miller tire.

Jim what do I search for here to find how to do that? I am never going to get around to getting my rusted front wheels sand blasted. I did a search and do not see anything related to it.

Type in rexemouse.He posted the info with pictures for the  hub conversion for 520 front spindles.I posted with photos for the hub conversion for 3/4" spindles.

I might have a set coming available.  Thinking of parting out another 520 so I can steal the gear reduction steering from it.
