Model C rear rims loop style

Tom from Northern WI · Sep 2, 2010

Does anyone know what the distance is between the bolts on a C? The loop rim I bought is 20.25" but my tractor and the rim I'm replacing are around 19.5" the company I'm dealing with is telling me they don't know of any 24" rims that are made for any size other than 20.25" but that can't be true since the rim I'm replacing was 19.5" measured center to center across the rim

To my knowledgethere is no differnce in model C rear wheel bolt patterns, all the same. Loop rims are all the same too. We had a parts tractor that had loop rims and it seems to me that there was a bit of "fudging" involved to mount them about like you said, 3/4" and we had to angle the bolts and knock them in.

Well they must have changed something in the last 15-20 years in the loop rims because the one I'm replacing is about that old and it is the right bolt pattern, these new ones are a larger diameter bolt pattern, if all of them are the same I guess I'll have to go back to a bump rim. Probly a better rim anyway

you do have a rim for a farmall A or B right?

I would guess there is more than one manufacturer of the loop rims. I bought 4 at Yoder and Fry in Archbold Ohio a few years back and bought two tractors that had the loop rims on them. The ones I took off tractors had to have a bolt of two driven out. I have always put them on and taken them off without question. I never force anything when removing or installing it or them. I just get a bigger hammer.

In reading your posts I would guess that your best bet would be to get the clamp on type rims.

I have a rim that the parts company said would fit. "Universal" 8x24 loop rim. But it doesn't fit the C

It could be that at one time there was differnt loop rims I dont know? But now there is just one type available. Seems like Dick's experiance with them on an Allis is the same as mine, have to fudge things just a bit so they work.

ya I probably will, I wanted to save money by buying the loop rim because it's alot cheaper, plus I will need 2 eccentric rim clamps, so loop rim is much cheaper if I could find the right size.

As I said before I think you just got some junk china stuff. I know a place like nnalert has them as will a good number of other places and I know the farmall rims work because I use them
