Help with rear wheel replacement

[George Gooding 0]

Hello from Joplin, mo. I have a 1974 c-120 auto with the hydro transaxle and I'm needing another set of 12in rear wheels,  they are the wide ones but I can't find any that aren't stupidly overpriced so my question is, what is the bolt pattern size and offset of them so I can find another exact pair for duals. (maybe even from another brand, JD or something). Thanks for any help.

The majority of garden tractors used the five bolt 4 1/2" diameter wheel. Just need to try a local garden tractor repair shop that has a bone yard out back or place a wanted ad on here, it is free.   https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/classifieds/wanted/?do=form&d=2

Yeah, the 5 bolt, 4 1/2" pattern is/was used on ..... well a whole bunch of the tractors -- but, you will need to be aware of the different 'off sets'.

 that the depth of the rim from the axle and there are some differences there, adding duals you'll need the more shallow ones, 

 

Many of the guys here have done this and no doubt you'll get some good info from one or more of them....

 

And -------- welcome aboard!!

Most WH used a 1-3/8" back set.  Several JD wheels I have come across use 2-3/8"

If you plan to put wheelhorse weights on the rims, pay attention to the location of the valve stem some brands like allis/simplicity put the valve stem inside the rim which allows you to use the cast weights.

If you decide to do duallys, here’s an idea that is totally adjustable to different offsets… they worked great… 12” pvc pipe.

Those 12” PVC spacers work swimmingly!
