NW Illinois | I have a guy looking for rear tractor tire rims for a David Brown tractor. I dont no anything about them, but from my research it appears that they were a spin off of Case. Im not sure of the model number, but the rim size is: 18.4 X 30 X 15.30. They have "J" sldes on the rims and I guess Allis Chalmers uses them?? I dont know for sure. Does anyone know where a pair of these rims can be located? The guy is wanting new rims. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Steve |

| Brown was an English tractor/gear company. The tractor division was acquired by Case in the early/mid 70's. I'd think that the wheels would be fairly standard. Either Case/IH or probably A&I could supply them. If nothing else, Unverferth could make them to spec for probably not much more money than anything else in that size. Quality... I'd probably go to Unverferth over A&I...

North Central Kansas | Did you try your tire guy? They should have someone that can order the rims. That is where I got mine for my magnum when it split. I realize that the magnum is a little more common than the David Brown but they should have a listing. Which model of David Brown is it? There were some sold around here in the 70's. I have a farm that has a dead one on it. I can remember when my landlord bought that tractor brand new. I was probably 6-7 years old. We had 656 internationals at the time and the David Brown had all kinds of gear shifts and it was a totally different deal. I still have the last 656 we bought. Still going today. |

NW Illinois | Thanks for all the input. I am going to try to call a couple of places tomorrow and see what they say. If there are any other ideas please let me know! |

. | The rims sound like power adjust rims. We have a 1690 Case (rebadged David Brown) that has this type of rim. |

![](/profile/get-photo.asp?memberid=171&type=profile&rnd=92) Lincoln County. NC | Any Unverfurth dealer can get Power Adjust rims. Rim diameter & width, # of rails, and whether the drillings for the locks are parallel to the axle or 90 degrees to the rail are the pertinent questions. |
