Brought this up last summer briefly but a shortage of time and difficulty in measuring pretty much ended it. Our B has what I think must be some fairly unusual rims. Darn near impossible to measure with the tire on but I made a big caliper and took accurate measurements. Measuring from the furthest outside points, which would be the actual edge of the rolled rim on the wheel, Rim "A" was 11.25 inches which, allowing for some error and deducting for the rolled rim I am going to say is a 10" rim. Tire "A" is a Firestone Field & Road 11-24 per the sidewall. Both rim and tire are in good shape. Wheel "B" measured the same way was 11 inches even...so another 10" rim. Tire "B" is a Firestone Transport 11-24.5. This tire is a retread in good condition, but the wheel is in very rough shape. I need to replace Wheel "B" but I am at a loss for a source of a new/used rim that size. Since I believe the stock size was 8" I am not sure where these rims originated. If anyone has any ideas, I would sure like to hear them. These wide tires are very desirable for pulling loaded wagons in and out of the fields and I prefer to keep them.
