1939 H rear rims

JaredK · Sep 28, 2010

I've just acquired my first antique tractor a 1939 H, serial # FBH2126. It's in pretty good shape mechanically, but the tires won't hold air for more that 15 minutes. So I know I'm going to have to do something about replacing the rear tires. Here is the question I have. I have 36 inch rims with the splt ring on the inside. Are these the correct size and style of rim for 1939? I'm hoping to do a restoration on this tractor back to original, so I'd like to get the correct rubber on it now. I appreciate any help you fellas can give me.

The very early Farmall H and M had 36 inch 2 or 3 piece rims. They later changed to a 38 inch drop-centre rim.

36" split rims are correct for 1939.

It's pretty unusual to find one with the original rims. Usually they've rusted away and been replaced with 38" drop center.

Be very careful with the split rims, especially seating the bead. They can be very dangerous.
