Wheels Rims

(quoted from post at 12:15:21 10/31/16) I am a Ford guy but also a Ferguson nut as well. I am researching the wheels used on the TE and TO 20 Ferguson Tractors. Ford used the 3 x 19 front rims with the 4 x 19 single rib tires. Are the Ferguson front wheels the same as the Ford 8N bolt pattern? The back wheels were the famous 'hat rims' used from '39 thru Hundred Series production, size at 28 x 9. The tires were 10 x 28 but they measured differently back then and they are now the same as the 11.2 x 28 tires. Does the Ferguson tractors use the same rims? If so, then they must have used the same supplier. Kelsey-Hayes was the original supplier of wheels/rims, both front and back. I know Ferguson 28" center discs on the rears are scalloped but is the bolt pattern the same as well?

Bolt patterns are the same on both the front and rear between the two. Early TE-20's used a solid center disc just like the 8N but they always used a six loop rim. Early TE-20's also used a solid front rim and later ones got the front rims with the four slots in them. Later TE-20's got the scalloped center and as far as I know all TO-20's got the scalloped centers. There was a different style rear rim used on early TO-20's but it's nothing like the Ford rim. Goodyear was the main supplier for Ferguson.
