Ford 601 power adjust rims

I have a set of power adjust centers, rims,
and spacers on decent 12.4-28" tires. Are
these worth anything? I'm wanting to put
13.6-28 tires on my 661 and don't really
care for the power adjust wheels.

Before I go to the work of changing tires
and getting these rims and centers painted
I wanted to see what yalls thoughts are on
finding a good set of "standard" centers on
12" rims for straight trade, or if anyone
even wants the power adjust ones anymore?

Thanks
 
Post your location and pictures of the power adjust rims. If they are in decent condition, someone here will be interested. I'm in northern Michigan near Traverse City, and I am interested depending on where you are at.
 
Good power adjust rims for vintage Ford tractors are very hard to find. Accordingly, yours are valuable if in decent condition.

Chinese reproductions are now available for around $650 each. An acquaintance of mine bought one and had over $800 in it delivered to PA. He did say that if functioned as intended.

I expect that there are folks that would be interested in swapping their 6 loop set up for yours (if yours are in decent condition) but shipping kills all but nearby deals.

My experience is that you will be wasting time and materials properly refinishing yours. Buyers will still expect to buy them for the going rate of non refinished ones.

If I could sell these, I have no interest in reconditioning them unless I would keep them. They are in pretty good condition and I have spun both in and out last year. I'll get pictures of them later on. Im located in Humboldt Nebraska
 

Didn't get a chance to take pictures of just the rims and centers. These are some pictures that I've had on my phone from the last year.

I'm curious why you want the bigger tires.
Anyway, I would think you could sell them.
Over the years I've seen several questions about those spin-outs here. Usually they were asking where can you find replacements by someone wanting their wheels to be "correct".
Just so you know, the rims and centers from the later 3 cylinder models will also fit your tractor. 2000, 3000, 2600, 3600, etc.
And of course, those from the 4 cyl 2000/4000s will also fit.
From the photos it looks like you've done a pretty big rehab on your tractor.
Nice.
 
You can mount 13.6 tires on the PA rims that you have, though I don't know why you would want to do so.

All Ford vintage PA rims are 11" wide, as properly measured (approximately 12" overall width).

Ford sold tractors with both 12.4 and 13.6 tires mounted on these rims. Some owners mounted 14.9 tires thereon but this is rather extreme.

Your rims are the same rims as were sold on 8/9** Ford tractors.

I like the look bigger tires give these tractors. I figured I could have correct wheels and the tires I want too.

Yes, the tractor has undergone many surgeries. Im working on putting triple remotes on it, then a paint job. Hope to have it done by spring
