1936 Oliver wheels.....

I posted my wheels last month- filled with concrete; after many hours with an electric jackhammer and much sweat- this is how they turned out: (and a few holes in the wheels which I repaired!) are these steel wheel rims? Thanks.

If down the road a ways you find out you need more rear wheel weight, just fill the rim cavity with concrete ...... sorry, couldn't help picking on you. That must've taken quite a time to do all of that.
 
That is definitely a lot of work to clean those up. Those were originally a steel wheel that was cut down and rims welded to the spokes. Those wheel centers look like they are from a McCormick tractor not an Oliver. I can not remember seeing any of those tractors having the spokes riveted to the hub. The spokes are cast into the hub for the rear like your fronts appear to be in the picture. The parts book lists a couple wheel options but they are just different lug styles. That center hub should have an A705 casting # on it. You done a good job cleaning them up and as long as they fit the axle splines correctly, they will continue to work. Do a google search of 10-20, 15-30, W30 or W40 McCormick models and you will see how their wheels are assembled. I could be wrong too but I've been around several of those early Oliver -HP tractors.
 
I looked and the early 1930.s Hart Parr Tractors show to have flat spoke wheels riveted to the hub.
 
Definatly not from a Regular, F20 or F30 as they did not have a hub like that as the wheels were not adjustable.
