Wheel-N-It 2,968 #4 Posted October 12, 2012 You will really like that upgrade Gerry. I put 520 wheels and tires on my 312-8. What is your plan for tires? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
groundhog47 347 #5 Posted October 12, 2012 You will really like that upgrade Gerry. I put 520 wheels and tires on my 312-8. What is your plan for tires? Plan on changing to 23x10.5x12 ag lug from 23x8.5x12 ag lug. The 8.5's that it came with in 76 were wider than the 8.5's (36 yr) I just got last month. Really like a wider tire and feel the wider rim will help also. Am wantin' the tri rib but just got new front tires also (12 yr). Fig I'll rig up a new set along with a paint job on rims.

Martin 2,131 #6 Posted October 12, 2012 if you are talking about the "Wheelhorse 520 hydro Rear Tires and Rims" on ebay right now, i think you will find they are not the wider 12 x 8.5 wheels that you are looking for. from the pic you can tell theres not enough 'dish' on the wheel. they look like 12 x 7's with 23 x 9.5 -12 tires on them. i have a set like this on one of my tractors and the tire 'bulge' looks the same as what you see in the pic. if they were indeed 520 12 x 8.5 they would have 23 x 10.5 -12 tires to look 'right'..... im looking for a set myself at the moment as well..... heres a pic to identify if these are the ones you are talking about...... heres a pic to compare, i 'borrowed' this off another thread on here. you can see the amount of extra width by where the center is positioned inside the rim..... heres the 23 x 9.5 -12 on a 12 x 7 on my 1057 next to a 23 x 10.50 -12 on a 12 x 8.5 loose wheel. the ones in the ebay listing look like the narrow wheels rather than the wider. just trying to save you bidding on something you may already have.

groundhog47 347 #9 Posted October 12, 2012 Is this what you have in mind? Yeah... that's what were are goin' for (are those your stock wheels?), looks tuff and stout, great hitch too, and those front hubs are great, is that original or modified?

546cowboy 301 #10 Posted October 12, 2012 The front wheel on a 520H 1990 or newer use a 1" spindle with tapered wheel bearings. Before that the had the 3/4" spindles. So if you wanted the newer 520 wheels on the front you would have to have the 1" spindles but the wouldn't fit the front axle and steering you have now as a bolt on. Just saying.

Gerry The front hubs are not stock Gerry, they're aftermarket. The rear rims are from a 520 and the rear tires are 10.50's Here it is with 10.50 turf tires although not as good a photo to show you the depth of the rim. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
