Did the 272 have the extended mudguards for the wide tyres? If not then they were not factory supplied - but useful info - thanks for this.
Ovalled wheel rim holes - how would you deal with them?

I'm no Ford expert - what sort of model may have the same rims?

Later 4000 had 8 stud wheels, but any 8 stud with the big holes should match inc iirc Same.
Mf , IH and David Brown had the same pattern/pcd but a smaller hole.

Just noticed your location, will enquire with a neighbour who may have something suitable.

lightbulb moment - i'll measure the back wheels on the IH 685 and the 344 and compare. There must be an actual sizing specification for it somewhere. TBH if i can find a replacement centre that matches the other side or a cheap pair of factory leyland rims that would be the best option. The rim is really a weird looking thing - i will get a better picture and post it - and maybe someone will be able to identify what its off.

No it didn’t if I remember right. 30 plus years ago now. Even yesterday can get a little foggy if I’m questioned hard

I would guess that you could find some centres fairly easy, easier than rims guaranteed. Sure I have a couple 28, 36 and 38 centres here from DBs and IHs due to rotten rims but kept the dishes

I dont think the stud holes are too small, but they are easily made bigger

Same stud pattern , ?
Different centre hole?

The 8 studs on the Leyland are 3/4 inch (19.05mm) i'll check the angle of the taper on the wheel nuts as well - as not all dishes are the same I dont think.

You dont need to taper them
Now here's a thing. Just read a post from 3 years ago that says MF 500 series rims will fit straight on ok to a Leyland but the nuts are different. 500 series rims will be the same fit as 100 series. I tried MF 50 B rims(same fit as 100 series) on my 3CX which is the same as Leyland. They would not go on as the stud holes were too small and IIRC so too was the centre hole... How come?

Will a Massey 500/600 series rear wheel fit a Leyland 262 tractor ?

A 135 centre is way different to a 590 is it not?Now here's a thing.

If the wheel centres don't have a tapered stud hole - then the centres will just fret away at the wheel studs will they not? The wheel nuts would only be contacting the centre on the very edge of the taper instead of right in to a tapered seat? I'm possibly just being stupid and not understanding what you mean by not needing centres that have tapered seats to match the taper on the wheel nuts.
