<p class="MsoNormal">Steve, if I understand you correctly, you’re looking for 38 inch rims that will mate to your cast wheels. I think the 36 inch rims used a different wheel than the 38’s. For reference, my B cast wheels are 34 inches diameter; I’m expecting
yours will be 32 inches diameter. So you need matching wheels and rims. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have the same styled B parts book as I do, PC0330 March 1960 page 99 shows a single cast wheel AA3816R for all styled B’s, with reference to an AB1810R wheel containing a B1545R cast piece, discontinued. Below with the rims AB1452R
is the 36 inch rim for the B1545R wheel. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are 4 different 38 inch rims, different widths.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I think you need to pick up a parts B with cast wheels and good rims, or find someone parting one out. Got one selling here on Sunday,
<a href="http://www.gragesonlineauctions.com">www.gragesonlineauctions.com</a> look at item 30. A better tractor than you need, but at least the tires are up. I can buy it if you want, haul it home, and you can pick it up from my place at your convenience.
SE Minnesota, Pine Island. I buy and sell on this auction most sales.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Alternatively, is the 36 inch configuration rare enough to be worth trying to preserve on your tractor? Maybe at least you could sell your wheels and rims to somebody.<o:p></o:p></p>

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

Confusion is a higher state of knowledge than ignorance.<br>
