New Case-IH front rims with tabs

My front rims were so bent up that when I went down the road in 5th gear the tractor would bounce and hop like a Chevy Impala low rider from Los Angeles.
I ordered new front rims from Case-IH, when they came I saw they were not like original, but had the 3 tabs shown in the picture. I put them on and the front wheel stance is farther apart than the original were, I like the tighter look better. Has anyone had any experience with this style, will I be able to maneuver the tabs to the back side of the hubs to get the tires closer together?

Since the old style would wiggle back behind,I see no reason that the new ones would not.Take one off and try it.BTW,I kinda like the looks of those.
 
You can also move positions by going from side to side for different spacings. The originals had thicker lugs for the spacing which would change them a little different than the new ones.
 

Those are the same aftermarket rims available from Tisco, A&I, and a variety of other sources. I guess they are O.K. if the tractor is used only for parade duty or showing, but I sure wouldn't expect them to last very long on a working tractor, and especially if the tractor has a loader on it.
 
Like the guys said further down in the post. All you have to do is ring the rim around the hub so the tabs are mounted on the inside of the cast iron hub itself. I put a set of those on an H a couple of months ago for a gentleman.

Good luck Jackpine Savage!

Good to hear, I wasn"t sure how they"d fit because these pointed tabs reach father toward the inner hub than the originals, and they are shaped to fit the outer hub perfectly, was concerned they wouldn"t be as stable inside the hub.

Ha! I am thinking we Yoopers are more of a Cedar Swamp Savage than a Jackpine Savage, although I"m only a savage on the weekends.

Thanks for the info, I"ll be swapping them around first thing in the morning.
 
When you swap them around they are a tight fit. It took a little patience, but they will go.

I think actually you are a Cedar Swamp Savage as I believe the term Jackpine Savage is saved for those in Wisconsin and Minnesota. Or so my buddies from the south say. They called me JPS when I was in school. Oh well!
 
Jack the front end up, hook the top lug over the hub, let the tire drop down behind the hub, and swing the bottom in. Easy.

The new tabs are spaced to give you the same offsets as the old loops. All you need to do is turn the wheel around for different spacings.

Too much work for me. I pull the hub and use it as an excuse to check my wheel bearings. :lol: In other words, I got mad pulled the whole thing off when I had to take the tires off my MD.
 
I got this done on Saturday, drove one front wheel up on a 2x4, removed the other rim, ringed it around the hub and attached it to the inside of the hub. It was very tight, I have a little touch-up painting to do on the hub but no worries.
thanks for the advice.
