wide frame rear wheel rim / lug nut question
Hello,
I haven't posted anything on the forum for a long while, but now I need help. So, here I am. Anyway, I have just converted the rear wheel hub from the normal IH lug bolts to lug nuts as the fasteners. At the end of this process, I thought it may be a good idea to see how the nuts would face up against the end of the opening in the rim, once they have been tightened and now I am not sure if they would sit quite right? I would have thought that the taper at the end of the lug nut would sink deeper into the opening instead of just sitting on top. I have supplied images of the situation any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply ambush. No, I don't think they are the the same animal taper or otherwise. I'm thinking about opening up the stud holes in the rims from 15/32" to 31/64" and if that doesn't do it, all the way to 1/2". Do you see any problems (other than making the holes too big) with that approach?

I would definitely not enlarge the holes and render the rims unusable for stock tractors. I can't remember if the bolts are 7/16" or 1/2" fine thread, but they should be the same as many older north American cars and those should fit properly.
I wouldn't use the nuts you have. My tires are fluid filled and heavy so I prefer the bolts for ease of installation.

OK, I haven't done anything further. So, I can look around to see if there is another lug nut that will seat better in the rim. But, I'm not going back to the lug bolt. The lug nuts I have are suppose to be for a 1970ish dodge (7/16-20). Thanks for the prudent input.

The nuts are not supposed to "sink" into the wheel, only part of the taper. That taper is only there to help center the stud in the hole as the nut is tightened. However, it looks to me like your studs are too short. With the wheel mounted and the nuts tightened is there a small amount of thread showing beyond the surface of the nuts? And lastly, are you trying to mount the wheels backwards? From the photos it appears you're showing the nut on the backside of the wheel?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
