One of my rear rims is badly rusted but has not failed yet. Still on the tractor with 12.4 x 28 tire mounted. Measuring the bead-to-bead width in not easy in this circumstance but it appears to be 11". The Long parts catalog Page 425 does not list a wheel 11" wide. It has W10 x 28 #775789, 12 x 28 #754552 and W12 x 28 #754553-- not sure of the difference indicated by the W.
The fact that my rims appear to be 11" and that Long parts shows no such width really concerns me. Can anyone clear this up for me?
M.E. Miller Tire has http://www.millertire.com/products/wheels/rear-tractor/flat-base/28x11-flat-base-rim-unpainted/
and http://www.millertire.com/products/wheels/rear-tractor/loop/28x11-6-loop-rim/
I would have to cut the 6 mounting lugs from my old rim and weld them to the new as they are not at all like the loops on the Miller Rim.
My rear tires have liquid ballast and I am no longer physically able to handle such a heavy load. I will have to hire changing of the rim and tire.
Useful explanations welcomed.
