Re: 66 c60 bit off more than I can chew?

I would hate to see yet another old heavy hauler get the fame swap/axle swap treatment.... if possible, keep it together.

As an idea if you can't find new wheels.....

We had an 80's Pasquali tractor back in the early-mid 2000's. The larger flotation tire rims we got with it had either the wrong bolt hole pattern or worn bolt holes (forgot which). To fix it, we had steel discs machined with the correct pattern. We then brought them to a good welder and he cut the centers out of the old rims and welded in the new centers. Held up great for years, those tractors had a ton of torque...

So even if you may be able to find the correct size non-split rims with the wrong centers, they can be redone to make them fit.
