MF 575 front tyre upgrade

[GmB]

Straight to the point, will 900 x 16 tyres rub the kingpin housing? 7.50 x 16 at moment but want to fit a loader at a later date.

We fitted a set of 11.5x15 on dedicated rims on a 675,,mainly for beet drilling but they were ideal for loader work as we used the loader to lift 500kg bags of fert into the spreader .

Dunno @Nearly MF 500 series to me are horrid things, almost makes the davy Broon 1954 look good

Depends on the offset of the centre to rim?
Are you thinking of replacement wheels or fit the 9.00 to the existing 7.50 wheels?

 

[GmB]

Replacement rims, but don’t know what I should be asking / looking for. Would be buying them with tyres already fitted.

Ask you tyre fitter ,,they should be able to get the correct rim and center to fit the the hub and which size tyre that wont rub the king pin

Does that mean you'll break the rule that at least one tractor on the farm has to have a least one ex Land Rover tyre?

if going all new and fitting a loader i would be tempted for 10.00x16, madea great job of our 35 for wet times but ended up on our 265 and loader, really big difference and not alot higher at the front

 

[bill and bens dad]

got a pair of 9.00x16 wheels and tyres i would sell,pics available

We wanted to put 900x16 on our DB 1210 years age but the touched the stub so we ground the rivets off knocked the centre out of the rims turned them over and welded them back in then drilled a hole on the opposite side for the valve and welded up the original valve hole, they were like that for several years without any problem and looked the part

Yes they will rub on those rims.
We have 900 x 16 on our 565, we bought new rims from Ron Greet, they will know what your asking for

Sporting a 750/16 from a minibus on the front left and a 600/16 landrover tyre front right at the moment

pretty sure if you put 900's on standard fit mf 750 pressed steel rims they will rub but don't mind being corrected as I have never tried it as they would be to wide to sit properly on the rims anyway, seen them fitted the other way round but that don't really work either

 

[GmB]

Thanks for everyones input, have splashed out on a new pair of rims and tyres, will post a picture when they arrive.

They are not on the original 750 rims, I bought complete wheels
