Wheel Rims On Allis D17 Modified With A Pair Of 30-In. Rims

Wheel Rims On Allis D17 Modified With A Pair Of 30-In. Rims TRACTORS Tires/Wheels 23-3-37 Floyd Lebold, Exeter, Maine: When the 28-in. rims on Floyd's 1958 Allis D17 began to rust out, he modified them with a pair of 30-in. rims he'd had on an Allis 175. "I cut the front edge of the flange of the 28-in. rim down until it matched up with the bottom edge of the 30-in. rim. I welded all the way around both sides of the rims. It's a cheap way to get ænew' rims and increase tire size on your tractor. I went from 14.9 by 28-in. tires to 16.9 by 30-in. tires, which increases ballasting capacity and traction and improves stability."
