Rear wheels

Recommended Posts

I found the original rear wheels for my 1054.so I go to bolt the wheels on.the lug it pattern

Is right but there ain't no threads in the lug holes. Who ever had this Wheelhorse

Before me made a spacer plate drilled

An tapped new holes in spacer plate an the hub. Had some kind of car rim bolted up.they didn't have the correct rims

Evidently. So tell me do the original rims get nut and bolted to the hub. Like I said no threads for lug bolt

You might try the  car type studs with the splines on hub side and press them in. If a local car junk yard is near that would be your cheapest way to experiment. Or go by local auro parts and secure 1 or two different styles.  Changing hubs pretty costly, but the bolts/nuts combo would work, a bit three handed operation to get started I would sumize. If you could also submit a photo we could be a bit more certain of what you have lefr ro work with. :handgestures-fingerscrossed:

For fear of damaging a hub, I wouldn't use a press in stud.

 

Depending on the drilled hole Ø I would tap the holes and install bolts; i.e.: 7/16-20 x 1 1/2"  or 1/2-20 x 1 1/2" long and use acorn open ended lug nuts. (PS: 7/16-20 is the WH lug bolt size).

 

This is a bit of an upgrade that I appreciate 100%. Makes mounting new tires 'n rims easier that trying to align lug bolts. Bolts and lug "nuts" are at most auto supply outlets. I often purchase the bolts at Lowes and the acorn open end lug nuts at the auto supply. Use Threadlocker blue on the bolts where they are threaded into the hubs.

I found the right size studs at tractor supply. Pressed them in and off I went. 1/2" press in studs
