Maybe you both need to read this post that is on the other board that proves there were 16" wheels made for the 9N and 2N by Kelsey Hayes for Ford and were available at the dealer as an option. Here is the address: Type n and the word tractor and the word club then .com followed by /forums/nboard/messages5/108485.html to go to the post.

I was wondering if anyone has done any research with owners of tractors that are still know to have original tires to see if a sequence of VIN numbers had a verifiable patern of application, or if there is any =one who has archives pertaining to this topic. quote="ron8n"](reply to post at 05:48:35 10/31/09) [/quote]   [Reply]   [No Email]

The 28 in 9n tires were made special for ford. Henry demanded they be made as light as possible to save cost. The 8n 28s were made heavier.   [Reply]   [No Email]

What DOES work is a '37/'38 car rim on a '37/'38 car hub on a 9N/2N spindle. Here is a 19" 9N rim and a 16" Ford car rim side-by-side on Ford car hubs: These hubs came to me with the car rims on a 1944 2N. Notice that the car hubs look just like 9N/2N tractor hubs. But on closer inspection it is found that the car hub has a 10.5" bolt circle while the tractor rim has an 11.25" bolt circle. Here is the car rim on a car hub....perfect fit: And here is what happens when you try to put a tractor rim on a car hub. A similar discrepancy (in reverse) will be encountered if you try to put a car rim on a tractor hub. Here is one man's solution. I don't have any idea where these hubs came from, but they look pretty tuff! And the car rims fit!   [Reply]   [Send Email]
