Sailman 1,291 #1 Posted February 11, 2023 Needing front wheels for a 704 and wondering if the C series tractor front wheels will work. Have a C-160 roller available for purchase. Any other series tractors that had front wheels interchangable with 704? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,327 #2 Posted February 11, 2023 Hmmmm... the 3/4" spindle diameter is the same, but I think the distance thru the hub is too great... C series wheels are pretty deep... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,327 #3 Posted February 11, 2023 ...And, the rim width is wider for a larger tire on the C series. Years ago, I boght two new mounted front tires on rims at Lowes - they were the replacement parts for the line of Husquvana tractors they were selling at the time. Tires were wider than the skinny 702 OE tires, the hub was a tad shorter. worked fine.... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,663 #4 Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) The older WH tractors had 4 1/4" hubs the later had 3 3/4" hubs. Most of the new wheels you find have a shorter hub then 3 3/4". A pack of 3/4" top hitch spacer washers from Tractor Supply will take care of that. The above is measured with the bearings in place.

The older WH have a longer hub than the newer ones even though the outer rims are more narrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The front axle was narrow on the early models , the RJ's and the early number series 5xx, 6xx, and the 7xx the tractors were 30" wide. The 8xx as near as I can tell went to 36" wide that sayed standard width on.with the garden tractors. There are a few exceptions D's and the Later 520's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,905 #7 Posted February 13, 2023 Well… there’s plenty of room for a larger tire on a round hood if that’s what you’re asking. As for fitment without modification, if the wheel doesn’t quite fit the spindle, I believe you can swap the spindles as well onto the 704. It ‘63, the “new” front axle design came out, lasting practically forever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
