800 rear wheels

Anonymous-0 · Jul 25, 2014

Hi im want to put bigger centers and rims than the 28 in that came on it looking to put 34 or 36 in rims anyone know what would bolt up to the 8 bolt pattern 7000 ford so on

4/5/7000's all use a bigger bolt pattern than your 800. The 2/3000 use the same pattern...but also use the same 28" wheels. You might be able to find a skinny 36" or 38" set that would work, but I think you'll find the extra height makes your tractor too fast. The smallest 34" tires I can think of are 16.9's, which are a good match for a 5000... which is a LOT more tractor than an 800. Maybe rather than going up in rim diameter, you might consider going wider, which also increases the sidewall height. What do you have now? Probably 13.6x28's? Maybe a set of 14.9x28's...or even 16.9x28's. Those would be BIG on an 800.

Narrower rims will also give you a bit more tire height.

If you can find a set of hub adapters such as were used on LCG tractors you can use centers with a more common 8 on 8" centers with a 6" pilot. That opens up possibilities to 38" tires. For whatever reason.

(quoted from post at 02:48:59 07/26/14) If you can find a set of hub adapters such as were used on LCG tractors you can use centers with a more common 8 on 8" centers with a 6" pilot. That opens up possibilities to 38" tires. For whatever reason.

Like Rick said, those adapters are scarce but out there.
I let a set go on a tractor I sold (big mistake)

Factories and homebrewers back in the day when faced with your situation, usually welded 'adapters' to the oversize rims so the stock centers could remain.
I have a Farmall C that I put 44's on. (quite a wrestling match with those!)
Rims look homebrew. Talented welder.
And like the other posters said, check out those larger size 28's.
They are big. Royse posted some pics of his 14.9's recently

Fordfarmer is right. We have a 4000 high crop with 38 in tires even in first it goes way to fast. We have an 800 with 14.9 24s and works great.

You are correct about the adapters.
I have a set on a very early 3000 with spinouts on it. They adapt from 8 on 6" to 8 on 8".
I've been thinking about useing them and bolt a set of 16.9 - 30s onto my own 3000 with the LCG spindles and cheesy 14" car tires on the front.
38s would be better but I don't have a set of those handy.
Just to take it to a show...
