Grove Wagon gear wheels

Anonymous-0 · Aug 2, 2014

I am rebuilding our old Grove Economy hay wagon. wheels are not original and rusted thru and some don't fit right.as best as I can tell, the wheel should be 6 bolt, 5-1/2 bolt circle with a small 3-5/8 pilot hole. ive searched and cant seem to find rims to fit. the 3-5/8 center hole seems to be unique. any ideas what may fit? or where to get them?

I just did a quick search of google and found that on 7-15-2009 a YT implement alley comment from a contributor identified as "cd 1" said he has some grove gears. Now that was 5 years ago but I thought I had seen something more recent from "cd 1" but I can"t be sure. If you find his "cd 1" on this forum, ask him. Also saw a grove running gear for $475 on Wengers web site.

Google "Hadco Wheels " and look at the 5R series wheels and hubs. I have one of those wheels from back in the '60's and it has that size center hole . The ones that almost fit are from Chevy Pu's, with a 5.5 bolt circle, and a 3.5 center hole . Or , got a friend with a lathe ? Real easy to trim the hubs down that little bit and the Chevy / GMC wheels will fit . OR look in the junkyard for some Land Cruiser wheels , they don't have a flange around the center hole , they'll slide right on ........

I would instead of turning the hubs down turn the center hole of those truck rims up to the size to fit. Have done that with Ford wheels to fit on standard 5 lug implement wheels.
