Unstyled A round spoke wheels

mismith · Oct 13, 2012

Hey guys, What hubs do I need to fit these JD 1270R round spoke wheels? They will be going on my 1937 A with 10 spline axles. I"m pretty sure these will be correct for my tractor also? Do any of you have a good pair of the hubs I need? I am also looking for a pair of matching front spoke wheels too. I guess my solid cast wheel hubs won"t work on the spokes? Sorry for all the questions but I am new to this. Thanks in advance!

We have a pair of JD 1270 rear spoke wheels on "Uncle Earl" our 39B.

Check the 9 hole bolt pattern on your cast iron hub to see if it will work.

The hub in the photo below has a 12 hole bolt pattern.

Good look on finding matching factory front spokes.

According to the JD parts manual I need a pair of the A3150R hubs B1961R clamps. Anybody got a pair?
Thanks!

Come on guys, I know someone knows this stuff. I thought these were just common spoke wheels for John Deere's. I looked for years for the wheels, now don't tell me I will be looking for years for the hubs??

The wheel Mr. Howell has shown you is the setup you are looking for, just not to fit a B axle.
I believe the hub you need is an A77R (ten spline for A) and the collar (or clamp) is a B1961R. The clamps are pretty plentifull but the hubs might be a little more scarce.
The wheels you have are correct and perfectly acceptable as superceded parts from Deere, but they were not around in 37. Those type of wheels with bolt in hubs came right at the end of WWII.
If the cast wheels you currently have on the tractor have the continuous lip around the edge, they are a little scarce in that they weren't produced very long before they went to 12 spline cast wheels with built in clamp.
Unfortunately, I don't have any of the parts you need.
Hope this helps.

Well, I found the hubs today but they are pricey! Now is my A going to look stupid on these 6" wide rims? Does anybody else have an A or got a picture of an Unstyled A on these type rims or 6" rims? I want to see the difference between the 6 and the 8 inch wide. I am seriously thinking of just orderin a new front and rear set from Detweiler and being done with it.
