[Farmall] Steel wheel question

[Arthur Umland]

    Hello Bob,
    Thanks for your comments as well as the responses from others. As I 
thought, more information is necessary to refine the available options 
that my question raised.

    As I do not have immediate access to the steel wheels in question, I 
will have to make a phone call and catch Glenn at a later time. The 
wheels were stacked in such a manner that I was only able to see one 
side and did not have an opportunity to move them for a better 
examination at the time. I will certainly try and find out the diameter 
of the shaft opening in the hub as well as the other details that you 
noted.

    Thanks!
