8ntruck 6,999 #3 Posted August 17, 2022 The one that fits? Having been an engineer in the automotive wheel industry for my 40 year carrier, I should know the size. But, I don't. It was always specified by the customer, and other than when moving from tubes to tubeless wheels while I was still in grade school, I don't remember any changes. The Tire and Rim Association is the keeper of standards to make sure tires, rims, tubes, valve stems, and wheel weights all work together regardless of who built the component.

Pullstart 62,851 #5 Posted August 17, 2022 Seems like .410 and .620 or something funky. Just less than 1/2” and just less than 5/8” 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,458 #8 Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I have adapters to make the .410 fit in the .625 holes. I can send you a couple, but..... I'm on vacation in Florida and won't be home until Friday. These allow the smaller stems on tubes to fit larger holes in rims. They are not for tubeless tires. Edited August 18, 2022 by rmaynard 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought a pair of rear wheels from Lincoln last year and one had the .453 and the other had the .625 sizes. Quote fit .453" and .625" rim holes... NEVER MIND! LOL!

Nothing fancy. 6x12 extra heavy duty in the rear (they were Silvertowns and in there when I got the tractor--I suspect original equipment); 4x8 heavy duty in the front (new and matches to tire sizes) For my use case (mowing ~¼ acre plus some towing and show touring), I'm expecting never to mess with those tires again as long as own this tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I installed with the first washer correctly. It leaked, so I was hoping if I added the other sized washer under the nut washer it would aid and seal.....it did not. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spray some soapy water on the bead to see where it's coming out (or just throw the wheel and tire into the swimming pool).

They can easily be under or over tightened, it appears that you may have squashed the rubber too much. A bit of tire mounting lube on the rubbers allows them to better conform to the wheel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
