McCormick Deering model #100 restoration

[GarwoodFarms]

Hello everyone!
I'm a small organic produce farmer from Indiana. I purchased a model 100 manure spreader from a horse farm auction. The wheels for it had Been taken off and were in the flower bed. So I am in search of some wheels as well as info and maybe some knowledge. Would like to revive and restore and put it back into light duty service spreading compost onto bed tops.

The original tires were 5.50 x 16. Not sure what rims will fit if yours are rusted out. As soon as you have two posts, you have access to the manuals in the PDF file under quick links.

Thank you! I have no rims at all I believe the bolt pattern is 6x5 or maybe 6x127mm. I've been looking for rims for 6 months. ..

Welcome to the forum.

From your second post, I take it you have the hubs. Without them, you would probably have to find another spreader to take the parts from. Otherwise, it looks like those rims were shared with some harrows, or more likely harrow plows. If you go junk yarding, check some of those machines as well as the spreaders. I don't know if any you can find trailer wheels that would bolt on. I wouldn't be too concerned about exact rim size, just that the diameter and offset will prevent interference with the spreader drive mechanisms.

Thanks all. Still on the search. I do have the hubs. The bolt pattern is 6x5 with what looks like a 3.75" center. The hub rides on a 1.75" shaft. Would a different hub or wheel work? I can find the 8 bolt wheels and maybe find hubs.
