First, lets go with the widow makers. (Firestone RH-5 rims).
Have been doing tons of searches, reading threads, etc. Lots of talk about them.......very few photos to help ID them. I assume these are them?
If so, quest starts to find replacements, as I won't even attempt to reuse a split rim and the tires are about shot anyway. If those are the WM's, they will be cut up and sent to scrap.
Seeing prices ranging from $250 up to $375 for new replacements. Plus tires. With new tires, that sounds like $500 per wheel/tire, or $2,000 for a rear set on an old axle with drum brakes.
If anyone knows a junk yard in the midwest that might have these, please name names.
Also, if you can describe these in detail (so I'll know what to tell the yard guys on the phone what I need), please do so. I only know the tires mounted on them are 7.5 x 20's, and it has 6 bolt holes.
On the other hand, I'm seeing some used rear axles off trucks on ebay for $1,000 to $1,500, some of which will include the rims and tires.
BTW, this is not going on a truck. It is a piece of self propelled farm equipment used to haul hay and does not have tags for road use. It only needs to be reliable and safe. If an axle off a military truck, like an M35 would work, I could use it.
Current axle is a Rockwell F106, which I understand may have been used on Fords of the day (early 70's), which might explain the widow maker rims.
If anyone can decode that ID tag to tell me what i have.....GVWR, etc, I'd also appreciate it.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
