An interesting concept for sure.

I've always found garden tractors with metal spoke wheels to be extremely interesting. I thought a lot about doing that on my current big build but I don't have the skills to build something like those yet and the rubber is more forgiving than the steel.

 

Oh I love the look of steel spoked wheels on the smaller tractors. I was thinking if I was to make some I would start with the hoop of a big rig wheel. They are around 20" The old lock ring type and cut the edges off. Should have about 6 or 7" of width and then build from there

Well the wheels are finally here, with the original drop axle. I thought they had bushings in them but they have long roller bearings. That may be a plus.

As long as they're in decent shape it certainly shouldn't hurt anything

Old School; I was going to suggest the use of your antique wheels

half buried on ether side of your driveway entrance.  But using them

as shown on that wagon is probably the best answer.  Away you go!!
