Many people used truck hubs and regular 15 inch truck tires/rims. You have to match up the bearings, etc. Don't scrap the 19's, someone restoring a tractor will want them.   [Reply]  [No Email]

Will the front Hubs of a 8N fit on the 2N. Or is their another way?   [Reply]  [No Email]

Yeah, you can change the 5-bolt WIDE hub of the 2N to the 6-bolt NARROW hub of the 8N. Bitta PIA. More better you consider DIFFERENT 19" tires. Think dirt track motorcycle tires ...or... space-saver spare tires. You'll still haffta use inner-tubes. Tubeless tires won't seal on tractor rims. ........Dell   [Reply]  [No Email]

It's used on a tractor that has been converted to a 12 volt battery system but still uses a 6 volt coil. However, it seems that achiving proper resistance is not as easy as that. There are better ways to make things work with a 12 volt system. I'm sure Dell will be along shortly to explain things further.   [Reply]  [No Email]

It will only drop 6v at one specific current draw, something more or something less at any other load current. Very bad for most who do not have a clue.   [Reply]  [No Email]
