I need tires and possibly a wheel for what I believe is a McCormick International #200 Manure Spreader ground driven.
The tires are directional traction implement 5.50-16 Goodyears (discontinued) and the wheels are six bolt pattern with approximately 3 5/8" center hole.
Any good sources or substitutes new or used?

Use 600-16 ag tires and pput them on in reverse direction so the lugs form an arrow pointing to the rear.The Model 100 manual calls for the 600-16 tires. I have both.

Good luck

Sounds like you have an early model 100 spreader as I think later ones had a 15" wheel

I'll tell you what I've done with mine, probably isn't really kosher....but.... Get a couple of 7.50X16 wheels and tires from an old pickup. Take your spreader wheel and cut the center out with your torch, cut the same size circle out of the pickup wheel, weld the original center into the the pickup wheel, and you're good to go and no trouble finding more tires if the need arises. If you're really wanting to be precise, and are good at laying it all out you can drill the rivets out of the pickup wheel, knock it apart, if the spreaders wheels are riveted, do the same thing, if not, but it to the dimension of the pickup wheel and weld. (You'll have to weld the holes shut in the pickup wheel) My 2 cents. I've done this on several old implements. I actually prefer to use the tubless equilavent of 7.50X16....can't think of the tire size off the top of my head. If you're pretty careful doing it, you'll be surprised at how little runout you'll have... I had a little stock trailer with 15 inch tires, one was always flat, and everytime you used it you'd have a flat (rocks on gravel road and 4 ply tires), did my modification, using tubless 16 inch wheels and 10 ply tires...1 flat in the last 5 years.

As stated by tc I have 2 200 spreaders and both have 20" wheels.No matter the wheel size just plain old rough tread tires will be perfeft but if you want something to last forever you might want to check out Gensco corp.!!!They retread airplane tires!!!I put a set on the front of my 310 JD hoe and you dont even have to worry about if they have air in them!!!I bought 7.50x16 with 6 hole ag rims smooth tires for $69 each and they are I think 18 ply!!They have them with rough tread too!No web site but you can do a search and get their # on the net.

There probably are other IH implements with the same wheel. My JD flail chopper uses the same wheel as my JD rake. Also the big wheel on my JD baler fits on my New Idea spreader, altho the rim is smaller.

I would probably have rims that would fit on it, and good old mud/snow tires work well on spreaders. I'm also in Missouri by the way

I have had two of these spreaders, NEITHER had anything but slick tires and I never had any problem emptying them in any type of weather. That said, any 16" tractor type front tire would work. Mine had 10.00 X 20" tires. The last one I had used two discarded, dry rotted, pealing recap tractor trailer tires for 6 or 7 years. It has been parked in the woods unused for two years and the tires are still up.

Don't get hung up looking for and paying a premium for spreader tires with the herringbone tread like on a tractor. I used my #200 every day and never had a problem with the tires sliding and not actuating the apron.

Dave , i have been looking for the same type tires for my spreader. I was told you can use a heavy tread truck tire,those lug type implement tires are no more.
