Changing back to steel wheels on the L

I've been working towards converting my 1930 L back to steel wheels from the cutoffs that were on it when I got it. I got a set of steel wheels a year or two ago and thought it would be an easy change back. NOT SO! Seems that the hubs on the old steel wheels are of a different diameter from the hubs on the cutoffs. Also the axle stubs, dust shields,etc. are different. After a week of just fooling around and dismantling and measuring, things look nasty. Seems that unless I want to knock out the kingpins and hope that the old ones are the same size as the newer ones (probably not) and then put the old axle stubs on in place of the newer ones, my only choice is to replace the entire front axle and all its fittings. I have all the pieces (I hope), and it doesn't look like too bad a job. But, what, in my ignorance, is waiting to bite me when I'm part way into the job? How do I hold up the front of the tractor when the whole front axle has to come off? How much wear is permissible in the pivot pin hole at the center of the axle? What else??

Thanks, as usual, for your help.

Nope, I haven't even begun to think about doing the rear wheels yet.

They look similar but are rather different in size. These are all L wheels.

I just measured some of mine the c c wheels (not flat spoke) are 24 inch the flat spoke ones are 28 inch. I possibly have L wheels and did not realize it as they are stored and not on a tractor. What is the diamater of yours???

The sales brochure for the L and C says the front wheel (steel) diameter for the L is 30" and for the C is 28". Your round spoke wheels are not Case, but that company that made them for many different tractors, and the name of which I forget. Its often referred to by initials such as H & T or something like that.

I haven't gone out to measure mine yet, its nasty out there.
