I think they were 1-1/4 or 2-1/4" offset. But I checked the back clearance distance separately. One I bought at a truck and implement wheel store in Des Moines, the other from a used parts place at Colfax. I don't know if the wheel store still exists, and In know the Colfax store is gone. I think they were the same as listed at Central Tractor (now value built). Their recent catalog shows 1-1/8" offset. I guess I'd work it out this way. A zero offset 6" rim would have the mounting nearly 3" from one edge (neglecting center thickness). A 1" offset 8" rim would have the mounting surface 3" from one and 5" from the other edge. So the 3" edge would fit about the same on both. On my 4020, I remember that the wheel weights made to fit inside the curve of the rim center fit on the outside, so I'm running those rims essentially reversed. On my MF-135 those weights would need to fit next to the spindle, but the ones I have aren't shaped to clear the bottom of the spindle. So I hung them on the outside but they don't fit well there and do stick out. A 10" wide rim would need to have 2" or more offset to fit. I see them also at Shoup, www.shoupparts.com. The rim shop at Radcliffe Iowa can make them with any offset for $62. That's what they told me today when I asked about 5 bolt centers and 8 bolt centers on 8x16 rims. Gerald J.

Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
