Rear hubs on a 180

John179 · Jul 15, 2020

I am looking to put 20x34's on my 180. I
currently run 28"s on it. I use the
tractor to cut and bale hay. The 28's are
to short. I have a set of 20x34's on steel
wheels with 10 bolt centers. Wondering if
there is a place to go and find 10 bolt
hubs.

There are two 10-bolt patterns, and the short answer is no. You'd have to make something. If the 34's have four holes about midway between the rim and the center pilot hole, those are for wheel weights, I have made a 1/2' thick donut plate to bolt to the tractor and large enough to bolt thru those four wheel weight holes. It will work fine if done right. Now, you have considered how high your drawbar and PTO shaft are going to be, right ?? New 18.4 x 28 tires of the right brand stand up pretty darn high. Yours must be smooth or you have 16.9 x 28 instead of 18.4 x 28 ?? Also, older 180's axle mount bolts only thread into the axle hub. Later ones have a larger bolt that uses a nut, which was a better stronger design.

In fact, I have a friend with some 18.4 x 34's already on wheels that he used to tractor pull with. He's retired now. Maybe they could be purchased.

I did some measuring and the pto angle
will be perfect with these 20x34's. It
will also be great for more ground
clearance would be great for raking.
