Hi Folks:
I posted this in the general Ag Equipment and Machinery forum, but I may get more info here. I'm looking for two wheels for my Deere 963 (or 953) running gear. 1950s vintage. Typical, "modern" wheels do not fit as the hub face is too wide. I currently have two original 16 x 5.5 wheels, 6 bolt, 4 5/8" center hole, model # JD 639. The hub is model #S 3289 DW (or #A 5289 for the full assembly with bearings).
Wheel model numbers JD 1232 (16 x 4) and JD 1085 (15 x 5-K) will fit. I've also heard of spacers that may make regular wheels fit, but I don't know those specs.
I've tried several tractor salvage yards with either no response or they don't have. I've got a call in to the closest Deere dealer and they have yet to get back to me.
Anyone have advice for a next step?
Thanks.
