Buying Advice Cannot find Ag whells for my 1620

[CSL112263]

I am now having the same problem with my 1620 as I had with my 1220. i.e, I cannot fine used or after market ag wheels to replace the turf tires/wheels that came with it. I have exhausted all local options excepting the New Holland store which is prohibitively expensive. On the 1220, I eventually found a pair of r-4's that fit the rear turf rims but never did find the Ag rims I really wanted. Any ideas??

Good morning. Not sure if they will fit, but I have a set of ag rims from a NH TC29. I know they will fit most of the machines in the TC series up to about a TC33. Not sure if they will fit your 1620. Tires on them are no good. Rims are fine, but could use a paint job if you are picky about appearance. We're a long way away (I'm in SC). 400 bucks will buy all 4 of them if you have a way to pick them up.

I copied / pasted I sent to a tire dearler to give you the info on the wheels / turf tires presently on the 1620:


Thank you for responding to my inquiry. Per the owner's manual, the turf tires are:

Front - 25-8.50-14 4PR

Rear - 13.6-16,R3, 4PR

The rims, both front and rear have 6 bolts

Per my measurements:

On the rear rims, the space between the bolts is 7" and the center holr is 4.5"

On the front rims, the bolts are 4 3/4 " apart and the center hole is 3 1/16-1/8"

This is what I copied off the tires themselves:

Front - 25 x 8.5o - 14

Rears - 13.6 x 16 on 12" rims

For R-1 / Ag tires, the anual says:

Front - 7-14 R1 4PR

Rears - 11.2 x 24 R1 4PR

Again, I would prefer to get the r! / Ag rims and tires but I could be persuaded to go with the r4 industrials on the turf rims as an in between measure.

Thanks you

If they actually fit, perhaps we could ship them - thanks

I'll measure tonight and let you know the hole sizes in the rims and bolt spacing. I know rears on that machine were 11.2 x 24 R1's so at least that matches.

 

[bspeedy]

No go. Rear rims are 8 bolts. Pilot hole sizes are also quite different. Maybe someone else can use the rims. Good luck with yours.

Sorry, I have been taken out of service by a total knee replacement. Among many other things, I can not drive for 6 weeks!@#$%?*&. I did get a couple of solid leads to places in Kentucky and PA but have not connected with a used set of Ag rims that will fit my 1620. Thanks to those who responded and tried to help me. I also reviewed many suggestions that advocated for alternative solutions using a combination of new R-4's on the front and turf tires with chains on the rear. Several entries reported satisfactory to very good results. With winter bearing down on W NY, I felt I was out of time. Following one suggestion, I purused Craig's list Buffalo and located a set of chains in excellent condition for $200 that were close by. I picked up a new set of 6 ply R-4's for the front for less then $275. and a neighbor mounted the tires and cut down the chains, deflating the loaded turf tires a bit. He snugged the chains up and re-inflated the tires to specifications. The very next day came the test. Another neighbor managed to bury his 2120 (with turf tires - no chains) in a swamp a mile back in the bush. The little 3 cyl 1620 now with R-4's in the front and the turfs with chains snugged up on the rear, pulled that 2120 out with little effort after it had been back there for a month.
This "change over" with labor was less then $650. The wheels (AG) f0r the 1620 would have cost (new) 0ver $2500 alone, at the NH store new, no tires, no "loading". . no labor. So again, I thank tractorbynet and those who participate in the blogs / forums. Now that I am retired and have a new knee (ouch!) I hope to take advantage of this "tool" more often than I already do..........
There are a couple notes of caution as with most projects: The chains will "mar" concrete that is pristine. In addition, the chains on the rear turfs will cause the tractor to "rock" a but, to and fro on hard surfaces at speed.

Merely a thought -- folks with off road trucks/Jeeps often have wheels made, but you could have the centers cut out and welded to new/common sized (tires) rims. Probably not too hard to find something. Value tractor used to list a bunch of new wheels for old models. Might find something close enough. That's what was done to the old iron rimmed wheels (well. steel rimmed anyhow). You can tell due to the spokes in them (welded rod of various sorts).

Did that!
Needed new frt 12" rims, bought trailer rim set, cut out centers and had a shop CNC cut me new centers that I welded into the rims.
Worked out great and cost me total under $100. (CNC=$60 and rims were from recycle yard)
The rims were trailer rims and I had centers made in 5/16" stock so they should be rather heavy duty.
