View Full Version : Implement rims for running gear

Bought/picked up a running gear yesterday. Looking to put our rain water totes on it.

It's all rusty and such but it was purty cheap and as always with stuff I buy needs work.

There are no two tires alike, and I would like to "update" them with a set of decent used ones.

The real delema is that one of the rims has a rust hole through it. It's about 1" wide and isn't in an area that's too critical.

The rims are 15" with a 4 1/2" center hole and they have a 6" 6 hole pattern.

Would love to find another rim, but am anticipating that I will patch this in and go with it.

Is there another place to look as in do any "vehcile rims" have these dimentions?

Thanks!

Sounds like a standard farm implement rim. Try a local farm machinery dealer, they might have a used one available.

old dodge rims fit and some older toyota pick up 6 lug rims fit

can you epoxy or fiberglass the hole? We had good luck with that on a rear tire for a Super C that gets a lot of cultivating time every year.

I was thinking about brazing a patch in.

I was thinking about brazing a patch in.

I used a rim from the dump to "donate" sections to repair the original rims on an International Little Genius plow. In that case, the rims had rusted out in one spot from the plow sitting for 20+ years and sinking into the ground. I'd weld in a patch.
