questions on 1550 wheels

Mike(NEOhio) · Sep 24, 2015

My '65 1550 has 161824A rear wheels and 161806A hubs. Neither one are shown in my parts book, but it's an early one (June 1965). Wheels have 8 clamps and are for a bead style rim. Just wondering what model they are from or if they were added to the line later. It has 16.9-38s. The build card shows 15.5s. Obviously they were changed at some time. Build card also shows code 90 for wheels (cast iron 42") and 52 for the rims but 52 isn't in the list. It also has the high speed transmission. Seems strange (and dangerous) to have that with 42s. Can any of you Oliver historians clear up my confusion?

   Rear hub 161 806A was used on 1550, 1555 & 770 tractors.   Wheel 161 824A (code 90) was used on a lot of models, 1555, 1655, 1750, 1850, 1950 & 2-70 White.   This wheel was used for both 38" and 42" rims with different clamps.
   Rim code 52 is a 14" x 38".   It was used for both 15.5x38" tires or 16.9x38" tires.
Information is from the master parts list.

Thanks, BA. That explains a lot. Do you know how much those wheels weigh?
