Its old, it came with a deere 318 that was going to scrap; it got washed and painted...the wheels obviously arent right, does anyone know what wheel should be on it?

Very nice. 

The adaptability will come in handy if you are doing various kinds of plantings, with the extra tines, the wheels that can be repositioned, the adjustable width, and the hiller blade.

Whats neat is theres no bolts for any of the drops/tines...its all done with wedges

I don't think it matter what wheels you use so long as they are the same. 

 

The Brinly cultivator is one of the best implements. Very useful!

Just saw one of these locally on MP for $145

I have 2 of these older Brinly cultivators. I use the crap out of them. Keep a hammer with you when you use it, the wedges tend to loosen from time to time.

Went with solid 10" utility tires, 5/8 bearings, i had planned to use some 5/8 to 1/2 sleeves to make them fit but it became apparent that the factory axles had been modified and were way shorter than they should have been.  So, i took some 5" 1/2 carriage bolts, cut off thr old pins, welded on the carriage bolts, measured my sleeves out so they were just a hair longer than the bearing spread, tacked them to the carriage bolts, slid the wheels on and cranked down some serrated flange nuts.
