44 Special rim

waclar · Mar 7, 2017

Would like to replace one rim, on my '54 44 Special. 38 in rims, cast center, 12 in wide, 40 in tall and 34 1/4 in measured inside the rib. Is anyone manufacturing these. Would another brand, Farmall, John Deere work? I would be interested if someone has a used one in good condition. I am in North Carolina

Other tractors used the same size rim, IH, JD, Case, Oliver had the same wide base rims.

Where those called a double drop?

Transition from 36 to 38" tires.

The rims I have one is fairly new and the other is probably original. It has some small rust holes that could be repaired, picture I posted is just trying to show design not any damage. I figure if I can put a good one on there now I won't worry about it 20 years from now. I might end up using it depending on price and availability of a replacement. I've tried to post another picture of Special with the cast rears

No, the Centre rib is where the wedges clamp onto. You may be thinking of double bevel rims which have an extra Centre rib to provide for additional wheel spacing. Ben
