Just drug home a sears model 700-429 running gear. Needs wheels and paint. Does anyone know what wheels I can get to fit and what color it should be? I do have the serial number but can not find anything to match up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lee

I have 2, and from how mine are, they are regular red(i use IH 2150). The rims are fairly easy to find, as any 5 lug Electric, David Bradly, and Sears gears had wheels and hubs made by The Electric Wheel Co., Quincy ILL. Also, alot of your "farm store special" gears of the time used the same wheel. M.E.Miller Tire(www.millertire.com) has new ones for $32.00-$42.00 each, but all of these exept for one are 14 and 15" rims, but you can use car tires. All my gears with this style rim are either 4.5x16" or 4x16".

If the hubs are 5 lugs, I am pretty sure that a wheel from a 50s, 60s, or even 70s Ford 1/2 ton truck will fit like a glove.

Lee I have "drug" home a few running gears and this is what i do. I measure up the center holes and the bolt patterns and head for the auto wreckers. You can usually find 15 or 16" rims that will fit. If you plan to do some heavy heavy stuff then a machinery dealer will be able to find you rims in wider formats. Also TSC carries various rims. A tire dealer will also have rims available. I get used light truck tires in 15 or 16" depending on what I have chosen for the gear. I sand the rims and paint then first and then mount the tires I am going to use.At this point I clean up the running gear and pull all hubs and wash them out and repack them with good axle grease. I complete any sanding and paint the gear and then mount the wheels, then ready to build my rack...good luck Mike in Exeter Ontario

I hate to stereotype, but being from Michigan I feel pretty knowledgable on this matter. The problem with most Canadians is they don't speak no good English. Everyone down here knows that "drug" is the past tense form of the verb "to drag". :-)

Good one Dave, I figured "drug" was at least equivalent to "have dragged" but if drug is understood where you are then its good English!...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Mike,

Let's go one further...a famous baseball announcer (radio days, but you probably don't remember that) once said that a player "slud" into third base. A good friend of mine who lived in Alliston (Aliston?), Ontario called that a "past pluperfect"... sounded good to me, and I've used that term every since. Nobody has questioned it either.

Best regards,

Stan

Stan, I am sure it was "Dizzy" Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals, who turned to broadcasting after his playing days who said "slud into third"..he was following a regular verb pattern with an irregular verb...yes we used to teach about pluperfect tense, but it didn't work with every verb form...swing , swang, swung...Dizzy had guys swang at a pitch a few times too..at 56 years old I was a kid when Dizzy was making those famous word salads with the language, thanks for the reminder Stan, take care...Mike in Exeter Ontario
PS it was Alliston

Mike,

Now I'm going to reveal my ignorance or maybe my gullibleness (how's that for a word?). Is there really such a thing as "pluperfect"? I always thought my friend was just being funny.

And, yes, it was Dizzy Dean.

Best regards,

Stan

Yes Virginia there is a...pluperfect tense of a verb but a better scholar than I is needed to explain..it gets into weird verb forms something like "will have been dead" or "should have been dying" ...haven't heard the term for a long time...take care Stan...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Thanks to EVERYONE for the great input. I also just "Drug" home a '62 and '69 Ford pick up so I will have to try these wheels first. I will be painting this one back red, not sure what color for the wheels. Does any one know of the weight limit for these?

Proper English is a matter of peference..... . Just so happens my peference is redneck.

Thanks again for the input to all!!
Regards,
Lee

In Oklahoma we just call it country. You must speak on the level of the people you're talkin' to.
