I have been searching for turf wheels for my new to me 1993 B7100 HST-D. I found some turf wheels and tires off a B7300 which at first glance looked like the ticket. I took my rear hub off and it matched the rear wheels, the fronts looked to fit, both 6 lug and rough measurements I thought confirmed they would fit. The front turf wheels do not fit. The bolt pattern appears to be 6X120mm where as the bolt pattern on the front hubs looks to be 6X115mm. Besides the lunacy of different bolt patterns, I am looking for a solution. Has anyone tackled this issue in the past? My searches have not come up with anything. My courses of action are listed below. Am I missing any?

1. Find turf wheels with the correct 6X115mm bolt pattern (no luck so far)
2. Drill the 6X120mm turf wheels to accept 6X115mm pattern
3. Some kind of adapter/spacer to convert 6X115mm to 6X120mm

Any insight, wheel source, or another solution welcome.

Thanks

have you considered having the tires pulled off the rims and placed on your current rims?

I forgot to mention that I had Ag tires and wheels prior. The Ag wheels are not the correct size for turf tires.

You can punch out the rims to fit.
But #1 thing you do know that changing tires and rims you must keep the right ratio for the tires or you will destroy the 4wd in the tractor. ;)

I have the correct size turf tires that are matched with the rears to avoid transmission bucking issues. Thanks for the steer on Craigslist. I will also investigate drilling the 6X115mm bolt pattern if CL does not pan out. Looking for the easiest and lest expensive option. Thanks for the posts so far.

I just bought a B7200 with turf tires and would love to switch them out for ags, or if I have to, industrials, but ags would be my first choice. Don't know if the 7100 and 7200 share the same bolt patterns. Do you still have the ags?
