8N rear wheel center disk

Does anyone know if the (original) rear wheel center disk from an 8N Ford is the same configuration as those from the Fergusons of the same era?
Wandering minds need to know.

By "configuration", I mean center hole size, bolt circle, spacing of the 6 mounting bolts to the rim.
Will the Ferguson TO-20 center disk fit on an 8N? Thanks.

Everything fits and they will interchange. I had them on mine.
Two differences. One, Ferguson rims were scalloped like the
later Ford centers. They are not perfectly round on the outside.

That let you take out the outer six bolts and move the rim/tire
to the inside or outside of the center without removing the center.
See the picture of the ones on my 3000.

Second, the Ford rims used carriage bolts. Ferguson rims used
a different style bolt and the name escapes me at the moment.
I'll see if I can find a picture of them.

I should have said the Ferguson CENTERS were scalloped,
not the rims. I haven't found that picture of the bolts yet,
but if you have replacement rims it won't matter.
They use carriage bolts and are the same for Ford and Fergy.
 
Here are the pictures. I had to dig a ways back. LOL
I still can't remember what they're called but someone will remind me.

Here are the "pipped-head" bolts that work with the rounded loops on the original-style Ferguson rims:

Like Royse says, most aftermarket rims with squarish loops (and Ford) use carriage bolts.

Thank you Tom. My memory isn't what it once was...
Which, from memory, is probably a good thing! :shock:
