I am currently in the process of restoring my 45 Farmall B with my students. The rear rims are severely rusted through an I am wanting to replace the rims with new ones. The hubs (or whatever you call the center of the wheels) are cast iron. I am wanting to go with a narrower tire than the 11.2x24 that are on it now.
Can I bolt a 7x24 rim from a Cub onto the cast centers or is the 8x24 as narrow as I can go?
The reason I want the narrower rims is 1) So that the tractor will fit on my trailer and 2) when I have chains on them I don't want the chains slapping the fenders while I'm pushing snow.
I'm not too worried about what is accurate for this tractor as I am putting a wide front on it and live hydraulics from a Farmall C. There's lots of well restored B's out there and I like to be different. Just look at my Farmall H if you are wondering how different I like to be.
