I think ME Miller Tires in Ohio sells the rims you might need if a new one is required.

again.

Ralph I have 14.9's on one of my tractors and 13.6's on the others.
the 13.6 x 26 is the stock size but I like the 14.9's better.
I haven't tried to buy any lately.

The Allis Chalmers wheels are open center with nothing in them but the spin out rails.  I
think there are plain rims available with no lugs, rails or anything that you can weld
lugs to as needed but it's been a while since I looked for any.

If there are any 60's vintage Gleaner combines around up your way, look on them for 26"
wheels and tires.  I can't remember how their rims are configured.
I'm
thinking "E" Gleaners have 26's.

These are 14.9x26 tires on the AR. I have no idea as to how hard they are to find but just
out of curiousity I searched kijiji and found a pair here in Sask. Good tires but the rims
would not work for me without some modification.

Mine are an open centre rim with six little raised lugs all around the inside for the
clamp bolts to hold the rim onto the cast wheel. There are also two bigger lugs welded on
either side of the valve stem which appear to be the drive lugs and fit into a groove in
the cast wheel.
They have a bit of extra welding on them that somebody has patched up in the past.
I got most of the fluid out, then using the air chisel to get the biggest rust patches off
the area around the stem and so far have not hit rubber:-). Now for some sand blasting.

Ralph in Sask.
