Good evening everyone. I recently purchased a F-30. Can't wait to get it home and start tinkering. The reason I am posting is I have a question about the rear rims and hubs. Did Farmall make cast hubs like is on the F-20s for the F-30? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

There is a different looking set on my great uncle's F30. They are a full cast iron center with the rim bolted to it, sort of like what you would see on a JD or an Oliver, but they are sort of strange looking, maybe an F&H rim? I think it has 38" tires on it. It has been a couple years since I've looked at it up close. He passed away, and his kids said they'd trade it to me if I would put a rod in the F20 their dad had and get it running, but I just can't justify the time to do that right now with all that I have going on. The F30 sets in a pasture where I can see it from the road, been setting outside for probably 40 years with an open manifold. I drive by it usually once a week at work.
While most of them had steel or F&H roundspokes, some of the late ones had cast center wheels. They are few and far between and if you find them you better latch on to them cause they are rare as Hen's teeth. And by the way thats my F30 on spokes in the pic D beatty posted. This is a pic of a really rare F30 set, as in this is the only set most collectors have ever seen, owned by a friend of mine.

the round spoke wheels are made by french & hecht, a separate company that made wheels for different farm tractors and pretty much all farm machinery. they are not international harvester product. the last picture is steel wheels that were cut down for rubber conversion. international did have some heavy cast hubs. with the rim separate.

Hello DK welcome to YT! Mark966 has not posted on here since August of 2018. I would be extremely surprised if he came back to you. For the time being someone may find your photo helpful if they view this in the future. Mark certainly had or has a very nice looking Farmall.(quoted from post at 06:37:15 09/18/23)
I know it s been a while since your post, but Is this what you're looking for? They are solid steel pressed wheel. Not a cut down.
