I know it's a long shot, just thought I'd ask.

12 x 28 four rail power adjust rim. Within reasonable distance of South East Pa. I know people that routinely travel to North Jersey, Poconos, Harrisburg, Lower Delaware, etc, and could pick it up for me. I think 15 x 28 would also fit, although I would prefer a matched pair.

What kind of tractor? We build our own rims from blank rims we buy from Unverferth, cut the brackets or rails from the old one and re-install them in the new blank rim. We've built many of them for the Ford wheels with the slotted brackets used from '55-'64. It takes some time, and requires some special spreaders we made to hold everything in place during the assembly, but no one makes them any more, so we figured out how to do it ourselves. Unverferth has a few rail-type wheels for Allis and later Fords all ready to use. You might want to check that out. Jerry

Thanks guys, I will check with both of those. I found new rims online, prices start at about $310 plus shipping, but I would have to verify they fit my tractor. It is a IH 460 Utility tractor.
