WC - Frt spoked wheel needed

Tom R-S · Jul 1, 2011

I am need of one front wheel for our 1937 WC.
Must be round spoke and measure 18" dia and about 5" wide. (for a 17" tire)
Anyone have one they can part with.

I think you are going to have a tough time finding that one. I've been looking for quite a while and it seems there aren't any left that haven't been cut down to 16". Do you need the rim or the whole wheel, if your rim is bad it can be fixed.

I thought that might be the response. The 17" tires is one of the things that enticed me when I bought this tractor.
The rims are what is getting bad. The spokes and hub are good.
The rim has a lot of bends in it from the farmer (or ?) patching the innertube so many times and really reefing on the rim to get at it.
At first I wondered how a rim could get so many dings and bends in the edge, but when we pulled out the tube it had been patched at least a dozen times. And as we pryed the tire off we noticed some of the rim was weak so we had to be carefull to do it right.
Thanks for responding. If you ever find some rims and you fill your needs, let me know.
