After getting my 1782 home I discovered that the PO had replaced one of the rear rims with a std garden tractor rim. I knew it looked strange from behind! The backspacing is quite a bit different.. I decided I didn't have much to lose so I drilled 4 holes in each of the spot welds and then gouged them a little with a die grinder and carbide cutter.. A couple of smacks with a hammer and chisel and the center came right out.. I'm gonna move it over the same as the other correct rim and re weld it.. If this goes well and I can save up a few dollars I may build a set of 10.5 inch wheels and order some Firestone Ags... I got a good tip from another member about truing the center up with a dial indicator before welding, so that is what im going to try... I'll add some more pics when done.
