Replacement Wheel

[Tank]

Hi everyone. Anybody know where to get a replacement front wheel for a 4wd model? I know the dealer is gonna be high, so is there any salvage places that are reputable and easy to work with? I just bought this 2 weeks ago and have loved it, I've done several points of maint. to it in the small amount of time that I have had it, but I noticed that it was missing a wheel bolt, one on both fronts, and that the left front is cracked. I took it off and tried to weld it but I know its not going to work due to the strees on the hub area.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, just got a price from the local dealer.... $264.00. Seems high to me but my perception is probably not clear on the prices for tractor parts???:confused2:

Lots of people would try to improvise around that problem, rather than pay that kinda price. Ken Sweet

Various new/used NH wheels are on ehay on a regular basis. That wheel should hold up fine if done by a professional welder.

AAgghh, I cant stand it Sweep, you got to me, I am a welder, state certified at that, that is just too lazy to fix it. I was just holding out seeing if it was a cheap and easy to get wheel but alas it is not, so I guess I'll get to breaking out the TIG this weekend and fix it right.:ashamed:

That has crossed my mind using 1/4" plate.

I've done that on small wheels like dump carts and yard trailers wher ethe wheel hubs were thin sheet metal and had deformed..e tc.

This is my first trip around wheel fixing folks. If I have one with a rusted-out area around the valve stem (front 20 x 8 turf)...is it possible to just weld that area up and drill a new valve-stem hole?

Is it that simple?
