I can"t post a picture right now as the machine is 140 miles away under 3 feet of snow. Setup is like this: There are 4 cast spokes in the JD rim. Drill a hole for an eyebolt in the center of the spokes as close to the outside of the rim as possible but leaving enough room for the J-hooks to hook onto eyebolts. Weld 4 pieces of pipe about 6" long evenly spaced on the inside of the outside rim which is now just a rim after torching out the inside where the hub used to attach. The important thing is to weld locking tabs out of flat stock onto both rims and spacers so nothing can move under load. You might want to armour the valve stems by welding a piece of pipe around them for added protection at this time. Place spacer into inside rim - should be a snug fit - a good machine or tire shop can spin these spacers easily. I used 1/4" for added strength. Insert J-bolts into outside rim and attach outside rim to spacer hooking J-bolts in at the same time and tighten nuts in J-bolts. All up cost around $300.00 with used tires and rims. I used 3/4" eye bolts and J-hooks. You could also use just straight bolts or ready rod instead of eyebolts and J-hooks, it just makes it a little more work to take off the outside tires and spacers. I hope this helps.
