3600 rear rim?

Tractor is 200 miles away. I don't remember so if anyone can help I appreciate it. How wide of a rim for a 16.9 X 24 tire. Mine are too far gone at the bead to save. Where is a reasonable place for new ones. Find 12" for 135 about 60 miles away. 15" are quite a bit more.
 
Rule of thumb is 1 inch narrower so on a 16.9 you want a 15 inch rim. A 14 inch one will work but is in fact a tad bit narrow
 
You got it right Bob, 15".
Are you looking at Reliable Aftermarket Parts in Williamston?
I've had shipments from them arrive before I paid for them.
I had agreed to pay for them, but the money wasn't sent yet.
They're extremely quick!
 
I would suggest that you measure the old ones if at all possible! All rules of thumb aside, I'd bet dollars to donuts it's got 12" wide rims on it as original equipment! I've seen a bunch of 4000 SU's come brand new with 16.9's on 12" rims, and 40 years later, they're still doing fine!
 
Yep, they have 12". Will call one day and see if they have 15"s. Saw a bunch sitting on a trailer in Sikeston Mo. last week.never saw the guy pulling it to ask about them.
 
Sounds like your in Missouri if yes where at?? I fix rims that most say can not be fixed but do it any how
 
In Michigan. Truck Driver so all over. From the Carolinas to Iowa, Minnesota to Georgia. Never know where I'll turn up. Anywhere you see orange and white Holland trucks.
 
Agreed. On a Ford of that size, it's better than even money that it is a 12" rim. Had a customer last month pay restock on a $500 OEM 15" rim because he knew better than a tape measure. I had the 12" generics in stock the whole time.
 
I don't know what width they are.... but I would suggest to you that you go with OEM wheels. I've installed a couple of aftermarket from A&I and fought them for several hours installing the centers... and I've paid more for OEM wheels supplied by GKN and dropped the center in and bolted it in 10 minutes. My time and my spine is worth more than the price differential to me. Eccentric wheels don't roll so well either...

I have to agree. Buy good rims.
A couple of years ago we were switching some rubber and rims around on a 3000. The original rims were about half eaten away by rust. We had a nearly new set we were going to use. Carrying them across the shop - old rim in one hand, new rim in the other, I noticed the old ones were still twice as heavy as the new ones. When putting the tires on you had to be careful not to bend the flange because the new ones were so thin.
 
My problem is that the 11-28 wheels that I installed for a couple of customers were not rolled concentric. They were over 1/2" out of round at the flanges. It took about three hands and two 36" tire bars to bend the wheel outwards to fit the center. The charming part is that this was 2-3 years apart between the first and second wheel that I dealt with; both the same size. I guess after I reported the defect the first time they worked diligently to fix the problem...
Every time I've had a Sankey wheel I just drop the center in and bolt it. It costs double the money and is worth every penny.
