Hi there i have a 44 massey pulling tractor with 16 inch front wheels and i wanna go to a 5.00x15 to lower the front end. When i try to find a 15inch rim 5 hole the bolt pattern is different. Allis chalmers is the same but they are 16 and the 22 masey is a 15 but bolt holes are wrong. I mite have to buy a 15inch blank and make my 16inch center work in it but cutting and welding. Thanks John
 
I have 4 tractors with that size front wheels,
MH 101 super, AC RC, Case SC, and Case SO. It might be easyer to make your own, than find these as they are from 1939 and 40.
 
Those 44's have an oddball size hub, you can't buy a 15 inch wheel to fit them. Here is what I have figured out over the years. A 44 standard and a 30 standard both use exactly the same front end with the large hubs EXCEPT the 30 uses 15 inch wheels with the large hole and bolt pattern, try and find a set of them. Also the old Massey self propelled clipper combine used those same wheels, find a set of them, old late 50's buick used 15 inch wheels that will bolt right on except they are about 5 inches wide, also Pontiac wheels from the early 60's will bolt on but the hub hole need to be reamed out a little. Welding a set up will work also. I pull a 44 and wanted to get the front down and put space saver spares on a set of clipper combing wheels I had rat holed and it didn't drop it far enough. So I just installed a 30 Standard front end, that dropped the front 5 and 1/2 inches, now I got it where i want it, only problem it weights about 80 LBS more that the narrow, but I always needed to hang front weights any way. Good luck with your project!!
 
Find a MH30, MH20 Or MH22 and remove complete front pedestal and gear box (leave gear box on pedestal) it will bolt to your MH44 tub, rehook your steering shaft. Then go to TSC and buy 12 inch 5 bolt trailer tire. You will have plenty of rake. PS-I think a MH81 also will work.
