Over the last yr, I have been slowly watching my rear wheel self destruct from the inside out.
Yesterday it finally happened. Now I am looking for ideas, alternate options to replace my damaged wheels rim.
Granted I'm on the other side of the rockies, so shipping is going to kill me.

I've come across some 9.5x16 turf tires and rims from a b1750.

Hi rpage83- I know this isn't an answer to your question, but can you say if they fluid filled? If so, any idea what with and for how long? Just to add data to the ongoing fluid ballast discussions. Thank you, and yes I would bite the bullet and buy new.:D

Do you have a welder? Remove the tire and tubes and clean both surfaces and weld them up. Grind excess away and prime and paint. Are you using water in your wheels? If so park so the valve stem is up not on the bottom.

"For those who might be interested, call Michael Wold directly at (800) 443-9653"

Got the above info here when I was looking for wheels for my 30 year old L.

Looked up the rim part number using B8200 with 12.4-16 tire option.

Wheel P/N: 34219-27950 but this has been replaced by 66418-27950 which Messick's shows as costing $352.28 and has the description W11x16.
WARNING: The Parts Drawings shows the same wheel P/N for both this tire size and the turf option, I'd double check the P/N's!

Another option would be to inquire if Kubota Wholegoods (sales department not part department) has a listing that would work. Wholegoods would be the complete wheel/tire assembly that is ready to install on the tractor. Many times the cost of the assembly is close to the price of the tire or wheel alone. Example: Order Code ABR8764 12-16.5 Suggested List Price (2014) $330.00. This would be the complete tire/wheel/valve stem assembly ready to install. I believe the wheel sticker shown in your photo B9382 is the old wholegoods number, but this is only a guess on my part as my current tractors have similar stickers and the numbers on them are definitely the wholegoods number.

Good luck and let everyone know what you end up doing... I found a number of similar inquires as yours and they were all incomplete as to the solution.

Still no luck on the exact replacements
I did just miss a sweet deal on a full set from a B series for $350.
https://eastidaho.craigslist.org/grq/6185263310.html

I heading down to the local dealership, he has a set of just rears of a L series that have been cooking in the sun for 3 yrs. He told me he's cutting me a deal of $400 a piece (tire and wheel mounted). SO Im looking at $950 once uncle sam gets his share.

I will continue to look. I wish I could fix my wheels but the inside of the wheels is rustified

Sorry fellas. I figured I should take this project head on.

After many phone calls and weighing on price and labor, I decided to repair the wheel. Here are the pics below of my success

Before




AFTERMATH of liquid ballast and yrs of moisture in wheels

So let the fun begin

Cut out the bad metal




So this was where the tire chuck "was"


I just cut metal for the areas. The larger one was cut after I took some cardboard and cut a pattern.




Not the cleanest but I can mount this back up on the tractor just in time for fall cleanup




I even added a chuck guard




SO whos the guy that saved a good $400 bucks??????
