1954 Power King

[thom]

I have a '54 Power King that a previous owner repowered with a Kohler engine. The original would have been a Wisconsin AEN. I have it running well and the trans & drivetrain all work good. I need one rear wheel and found that the 16" wheel is the same as the front on most 8N Ford's. My local tractor dealer stocks them for $70. The third pic shows my little helper checking to see if anyone else has been on the seat.

What size are the tires. My Case 446 has that style wheel. 8-16 tire on my Case. Most two wheel drive farm tractors around 50hp and lower have that style wheel. And some of the newer compact tractors have them on the rear and some utility 4 wheel drive tractors have them on the front. Just different widths and off sets.

Looking good I like the very early fenders they only used those straight fenders for a 2/3 years, it could have had a Wisconsin or a B&S back when new depending on the SN

I've compared and the 8N front wheels seem to be identical, diameter, offset, and bolt pattern.

That’s good. I thought they maybe to narrow.
Those tires on a 8N are 6-16.

Well I know my 8n front wheels wouldn't they are 400 X 19

Same as my Ferguson Gary. 52’s were the 16” wheels I think. My Ferguson is a 51.

According to the local tractor dealer certain (early ?) Ford's had 19s and others were 16".
