This "Trike" term kinda baffles me when I hear it being used for any front end that's not a "wide" front. Far as I know from the way I've always heard them referred to, there's 3 different front ends- a "wide" like you have, a "narrow" which has two wheels, and a "single" which naturally has only one wheel. A single could be called a "trike" front. I've heard of a narrow(2 wheels) being referred to as a "trike" and I guess it does kinda make a tractor look sorta like a trike, but the term "trike" comes from the word tricycle- those things that the guy in the raincoat pedaled around on Laugh-In until he tipped over. The "tri" in the word "tricycle" referring to 3 wheels. So, a "trike" front end on a tractor couldn't really be any version that used two wheels for a total of 4 on the tractor..... OK(with the nomenclature rant out of the way), the only narrow(two wheeled) front ends I've ever seen on an H use the same type wheels and hubs that you have. I think the same cast centers, wheel bearings, etc. too. If there's a factory narrow front out there that came with small hubs for pressed steel wheels(like the wheels you have on your car) I've never seen one. They could be out there though. Seen lots of wide fronts with those kinda wheels, although I suspect they're aftermarket. A true "trike"(single wheel) front end I think would use a small hub with a shaft running through it that attached to the "forks" and a pressed steel wheel, although they werent common in this area and I've never looked at one up close.
