Wheels for an 1845

[marrt]

Anyone know a source for wheels for the 1845? I run duals now but want to move to singles (26x12x12). I've got two ruined tires at the moment so it's a good time to move up to 6 ply turf tires.

If they use the same type wheels as the 425s -- those are just 12" wheels with 4.5x5 lug pattern -- i.e. standard garden tractor variety such as used on John Deere, Cub Cadet, etc.

The only remaining variables would be the width you want, and the amount of offset (location of the hub on the rim). Lots of places that sell the L&G tires should be able to get them for you... of course there's always eBay.

I think for the 1845, a skid steer dealer should be able to fix you up, but I bet they have nasty markup.

BTW, why turfs instead of bartread or industrials? Not proposing any particular style, just curious.

I had some wheels built for my 1445. They cost $75.00 each. They are standard 10.5 in wide with solid 3/8 steel centers. They are stronger than pressed steel. I have also purchased tires and wheels off Ebay. I believe a Ditch Witch wheel is the same, but they were about $195.00 each. There is some more data on this site if you click on search, and type in wheel or wheels.

Marrt:
It's been a couple of years, but I bought wheels on a trip to Power Trac, at surprisingly competitive prices. The wheel/tire quotes were staggering, so I got the wheels only.
It's worth a call to PT to see if the wheel prices are reasonable.

I've bought 2 26x12x12 tires from Cedar Rapids Tire Co (google it) They have a good variety.
