Rear wheels

[tsdeese]

I’m in need of a pair of narrow rims for the 6x12 size tire pm me what you have. Thanks all.

 

[mfrade]

Do you want them with tires?

 

[tsdeese]

What kind of tires and shape

 

[mfrade]

I've got 2 pairs I believe, from Originals - 2 different tread styles.
If you'd like, I can snap a few pics and flip'em to you.?.?
Might not be 'til the weekend tho.... Let me know.

 

[tsdeese]

Yeah snap me a few pics and we’ll go from there.

 

[tsdeese]

If you can send them to me via my email.

I'd like to know more about how to identify correct front and rear rims for Originals. If anyone could share some photos that would be great.

Scott,
The front rims on an O have bushings in them instead of bearings, and a grease fitting. The rear rims are 6-12 rims.
The first pic is the front rim. Notice the grease fitting near the center. Overlook the color, this rim has been sandblasted.

This is what the rear rim would look like. These have been sandblasted and painted with Case/IH Irongard paint, and are ready for some skins.

Be careful and check offset also. I purchased a pair of "CC" rear wheels from a guy that had a lot of parts. Looked just like the 6 X 12 Cub wheels. Turned out they were right width and size, but offset was about an inch deeper....like a Craftsman Suburban! It makes the wheel and tire stick out past the rear fenders an inch or two more.

Kind of like this? LOL!

Just kidding.
Another giveaway as to a non-cadet rim is, the valve stem is on the "inside." However, this would come in handy if someone had dual rear wheels.
This way you could still put air in the inside tires relatively easy.

Unless you were in a contest for who had the most correct O, I would not worry too much about having the correct rims. I don't think anyone is going to arrest you if they are not OEM.

Back in the day the Correct Police would certainly show up if something wasn't original. At one point in time I was an arms length member of them. (Looks like Kraig is keeping that little Police emoji to himself as a long standing member).
I'll let you guys in on one thing I always looked for on a nice all restored Narrow Frame tractor with a rubber foot brake pad. The guys with what looked like a nice new foot pad were almost always cheating. The original rubber foot pad would "NOT" have a little cut out in the back along the side where the steel pad is welded to the arm. The steel pad is actually welded slightly above the arm so the pad can completely cover the steel pad. The later Wide-frame tractors have the steel pad welded flat against the arm and their rubber pads have a cut-out in the side of the rubber so it fits around the steel arm. The later rubber pads with the cut-out would work on the earlier tractors so at some point IH stopped producing the old version of the rubber pad. Most people would never know this. Go ahead out and check your own narrow frame tractors,
and have a look next time you go to a show.

Forum member Paul Bell used to display this with the tractors that he would have at a show.

Hahahaha - thanks for posting that Kraig. I do remember that. Although I liked Paul, I do wonder if he did know about the rubber brake/clutch pedal cover detail. I do know people get really touchy about their tractors, especially if they have "restored or refurbished" them. The thing I've found is that many many many people don't or didn't know something wasn't correct. Lots of people are "not" the original owners and don't know for certain what is or is not original. And as Kraig can attest to, the IH Marketing Organization was very good at air-brushing photos with "in-correct" info, Maybe Kraig can even post a couple examples. I will add I try to be very very careful if I'm at a show and see something not original. You really have to feel the owner out before saying something - or you may risk the ole fist-T-cuffs situation. Saying something on this Forum is so so easy without that risk - although some guys do get real p_ _ _ _ _.

Hydro, Paul had mostly Originals and 70/100s. He may have had an 800 at one point but I believe he mostly had the older models. When I get a chance I'll see what I can dig up for IH air brushed photos, there are plenty.

PACub100,

Now hold on just a minute, those rims are original! LOL.
Look closely, and you can see the part # 630597R1 still on the rims!

Harry,

Are you saying the 70/100 series had a rubber foot brake pad? I have never seen one. (neither has Ray Charles. LOL!)

 

[hydroharry]

Marty - nope, not saying that. The 70/100 had the metal foot brake. I was only referring to the N/F tractors that have an original production rubber foot brake which I believe started with the 1x4/5 series (but at my age I could be wrong).

[PACub100]

Maybe it started with the 6 series cuz my 124 still has the old school metal pedal...

Correct, the 1x6/7 series was the first with the rubber pedal.
