Have you tried Ron Greet in Devon? I thought the 2100 had 14 34 tyres on them.

Charnley is your man
Or hunt bros at GT smeaton I can get numbers if your require

I’ve a pair of 14.9 x 34 tyres if they’re any use to you .

Rims off a ford will go straight on. Its on Ford half shafts. 16.9 x34 you want or 18.4x30

Were they not on cast PAVT centers ?
A pair of 18.4 x 34s were on most around here , but very rare to find a s/h pair . Even new , they are a special order . I know . I have them on a Zetor 8145.

Yes,ford rims are same as Leyland rims. Factory tyre options for 2100 has been 13.6x38 , 16,9x30 , 18.4x30 , 16.9x34 and 18.4x34. To be exact about rear axle,its not ford,its manufactured by County.

Thanks for reply, haven't tried Ron Greet yet but may have to, I was hoping for something a little nearer home first maybe somewhere around east anglia but looks like I will have to travel further afield though for these little beggars!!!!

Hi, thanks for info. The rowcrop rims on the tractor at the moment are cast Centres looks like they maybe original to the tractor with the rowcrops fitted to them
I can see now why the previous owner changed them over before getting rid of the machine they are getting like hens teeth, bu

Will be but have an I.H 784 to see to first so just trying to put things together for the leyland for now

Those center look to me to suit 13.6 38, new rims should be easily available

This is how original 30" wheel looks like.

And here 34" wheel



38" wheel


And 34" cast centre PAVT wheel

 

[msheep66]

Original tractor would have had 34 inch centres I would think.

Quick look to Leyland Tractors UK price lists from year 1973, -74 , -76 and -77 shows that standard fitment is 34" PAVT wheels. 1973 and -74 has been 16.9x34 tyres,but later price lists show 18.4x34 as standard on 2100.
