[AT] JD B Rear Wheel

[Bill Brueck]

Steve:

That’s indeed an elusive number, but I found it in a couple of ads where folks are selling the B2189R clamp: “Used with B2185R or AA3816R cast center and 12 spline hub: B2188R.”  Somewhere around here I have an earlier MPI that has a lot of these abandoned part numbers, but I’m not finding the catalog at the moment.  Will keep an eye out for it and let you know if I learn anything more.  If I find it, it probably will just refer to the Model B but won’t tell us much more than that.  Have you checked Duane Larson’s archived presentation on wheels?

Parts B’s of that vintage go pretty cheap around here.  Find one with good or salvageable wheels and rims?

.Gentlemen,

We are working to remove the rear tires/rims from our '47 B (207862).  They are on cast wheels.  The only casting number is B2185R for the wheels.

I can't find that number in the parts book.  Does anyone have a book that shows that number?

Currently, the rims/tires are 36", but a late B should have 38".  The current rims are rotted too far to reuse, we think.  I would like to find the proper rim to go up to 38", but I need to be sure of the wheel part number so that I can find the [roper rim number.

Thanks for any assistance.
