[AJD] AR Front wheels

[Tommy Wilson]

Yep, that's what I think too. Looking for new wheels now. I think 
that would be better than getting 18" tires. Can't find any in any of 
my after market catalogs. 16" with 6 hole, 4.5" pilot hole, 6" bolt 
pattern and 4.25" wide. JD parts shows them for $99 each. Any ideas? 
I need them by next Wednesday.

Chris, does your parts AR have any front wheels?
