Rear Rims for 3000 series

[lbuttke]

Any one know of a manufacture of wheels that makes rims that will fit on a 3235 Cub Cadet that I might be able to contact?
4 bolt pattern, bead width of 10 to 12inch, and back spaceing of no more than 3inches.

The ones I have that came with my 3235 are for 24-10.50-12 and have a 4inch back spaceing, which when a set of 24-12-12 ag tires only leaves a 1/4 inch gap between the tire and plastic gas tank.

I aint fussy, it don't have to be a cub cadet rim, just to it fits the bolt pattern and the 3inch back spaceing, and a bead width of 10 to 12 inch, also it must be a 12 inch rim.

Lonny if you don't find a wheel source what about shimming the wheel away another 1/4- 3/8in away.

That is what I was thinking Rick. I saw an ad in Four Wheeler mag that had spacers of all sizes. You could trace your bolt pattern and send it to them. If I find the ad I'll send it to you Lonny.

I have searched the internet the best I can and have not come up with another set of rims that will fit what I am trying to do, I guess MTD is the only one out there who puts a 4 bolt 12 inch rim on their garden tractors.

I have found a place here in Wis. that can make up a set of rims for an aproxamate price of $100 a pice.
I am still looking for an alternative way to get these rims to work.

Glen,
I will keep an eye out for an e-mail from you regarding the spacers, they may just work depending on how they mount to the rim.

While we are talking about the 3000 series, does anybody know where I can find a 3-point hitch kit for one. I missed the latest eBay auction for a kit. Anybody got a kit lying around?

I found the rims I needed to get the correct clearance between the tire and gas tank.

I had them all the time and did not know it.

I decided to try and mount the 24-12-12 ag's on the rims I have for 24-8.50-12 with 2 1/2" back spaceing off a 2186 cub cadet and low & behold they fit, and when mounted onto the tractor I get 4 inches od clearance.
All this time I was looking for the near impossable and the simple answer was there all along, I just did not see it until last night.
