Changing wheel centres from 12stud tractor to fit 10stud truck.

  • In this video I change some tractor wheel rims from 12 stud to 10 stud.
    The old centre hole had to be cut out bigger to make room for the new bolt pattern using the gas torch and a simple home made circle cutter. After cutting out and cleaning up with the grinder, the new 10 stud pattern was drawn up in CAD and then cut out of 15mm plate on the cnc plasma.
    The new centre was test fitted onto a spare axle in the yard.
    The centres were then ground up making a clean surface to weld, the paint ground off by wheel rims, centres laid in and measured to make sure that they were in the middle then tack welded into position.
    The brake drum was then test fitted to check for clearance before fully welding in on both sides.
    Thanks for watching!
    Hope you enjoyed the video.

    Nah, people don't bring you nice simple jobs, they do those themselves. Thanks for posting.

    Do you ever start to think that all the local farmers have a WhatsApp group where they sit around in the evenings laughing and discussing what difficult and obscure job they can get you to do next ? Snowball Engineering. Often copied but never equaled. Love the videos. Many thanks.

    Reminds of the saying, "Improvisation is the mother of invention". Many on TH-cam can do good work with a full workshop full of machine tools and equipment, much fewer can do the same working with what they have got, an entirely different ball game.

    Another nicely done alteration,looks to be a four wheel axel set are you doing two more or was it because these two are fitted with brake drums. I see your Dad in the background again would love some time to hear the history of your farm workshop and his history of the farm .
    Nice looking Shorthorns you have raised pass that on to your Dad too.

    Another great video thanks. A handy thing when entering dimensions into Onshape is to enter it as a formula to save having to do the arithmetic in your head. So enter your 505mm as 505/2 to get your 252.5mm radius. You can add subtract and multiply and other fancy things that are beyond me!

    Good job mate, still a good watch even if it’s only a wheel centre. I got two quad wheels at an auto jumble to use the tyres on my lawn tractor, the wheels didn’t fit so I swapped the tyres over as I needed the use of them but now you have given me a winter project to adapt the wheels to fit. Looking forward to your other videos. All the best.
