Truck rims that fit a 9N/2N rear hub

Does anyone know of a truck/semi/bus or similar rim that will bolt
to the 9N/2N hubs where the centers normally bolt to the rear axles?
The 6 nuts just outside the red in this picture.

Royce,None that I know of would be a bolt on deal.You might be able to cut the centers out of some dish rims and add the bolt holes if there is enough room in the diameter for a 9N 2N pattern.Maybe 1100X22"rims.They could be made to work for an 8N bolt pattern though.
 
Royse I know it's probably out of the question but what about the axles off a 9n mototug. I pretty sure they used a Ford truck wheel. A friend of mine has a couple that are restored and I think one more that is a parts machine. I believe they used 16'' wheels but Ford used the same bolt pattern for quiet a few different sizes. I've seen pictures with singles and duals on them. Or make some centers to fit what ever you can find. that's what I did when I built my LCG 8N to use the 16.1 wheels on the back
 
FLOLDFORD, if I could find moto-tug axles they might work.
Then again, if I could find a moto-tug, I'd probably have another
project!! LOL
I'm relatively handy with a torch and welder, just a little worried
about wobble in the rim/tire if I went that route.
Even if you center things perfectly, welding warps metal.
I know, there's a million and one sets of cut-offs still working, so
maybe its not such a bad idea.
 
Thanks Den, I'll check them out.
There is a scrap yard near that has quite a few old truck rims.
I really didn't know what to even ask for when I got there!
 
Royse I used 5/8" plate when I built the one on my
LCG did it all with a torch and a welder except the
bevel on the bolt holes. The machinist at work did
that for in a vertical mill. He actually had shaped
a end mill to match the profile of a lug nut. I
believe you can do it and get them pretty close. Got
me curious as to what your building!!!
 
The Ford-Ferguson Moto-Tug was designed on a 2N tractor but many of the special parts were supplied by outside vendors, not Ford, the wheels included. Rear wheels were 3.75 x 20 so I don't think they'll work. Besides, if you found a set of Moto-Tug rear wheels, their value is greater than cobbling them up to fit a regular tractor.

Royse-
Why? you have an original set of hat rims in your
picture. If I were you, I'd get them restored and
if loaded with Ca Cl get them drained NOW. there
are replacement rims available, 6-loop type, that
will slap right on. They run about about $110
each. I don't know of any other rim that will fit
a Ford, but there may one out there. Truck rims of
the era were different and if that's what you
seek, good luck. I suspect your hat rims are 28"
so if you decide to replace them, let me know as
I'd be interested in buying your hat rims.

Let me guess,
You're gonna put little wheels on the back and try rototilling with it?
Might work if you can find the right balance between ground clearance and ground speed.
 
Tim, I won't be replacing those hat rims.
They have been swapped to a different tractor.
What I'm really trying to replace is the centers.
