Default Valve stems on inside of rims

Anyone ever see this style rims before? Bought a 102 for parts and when we got to looking at the rims, the valve stem holes are on the backside. They have the hump by the stem hole so they are not just drilled. Ok my father said maybe something to do with wheel weights . But have weights on my rims and no issues same size rims. They look like they are turned inside out but the raised surface ring inside bolt circle says different? Any clues I'm guessing different make than cub? Ok just never saw this before. I will try to put pics up this evening. Not letting me upload from phone. Ok thanks for any input!

Different make. I have purchased a couple cubs with this and the stems actually rub on the brakes if you have external brakes. JD rims are like this

They could also be Sears Suburban/David Bradley type rims. If you can find really short valve stems, they may clear the brakes.

The older cubs with internal brakes had the valve stem on the backside of the wheel and the valve stem was moved to the front when external brakes came out. the hump tells me its not a cub wheel but I have seen something like what you describe on a jd my friend has but im not sure there even original to that tractor as I know nothing about green tractors.

Thanks guys we had never seen this style before. There is a slight hump right above the hole and looks similar to a cub. Never heard about early cubs being backwards can u elaborate on that? Father has a 70 and a 73 both on the outside, that's why we were wondering? I will post some pics this evening, they have tubes in them now. Nothing wrong with them just was strange when we saw them on the inside. Thanks for the info. What was the reasoning for the higher box under seat and steering tower? We compared to his 70 and 73 and frame looks identical except for said higher box and fenders of course. Is this the whole reason so they could use same chassis for the 14-16hp models too? But trans looks the same height as earlier models? Ok sorry had to ask!

As far as im aware all internal brake cubs came from the factory with the valve stem on the inside which is the way alot of older farm tractors were, when cub went to external brakes they put the valve stem on the outside because the valve stem would hit the brakes. If that info is incorrect someone please chime in.

Cubs came from the factory with valve stems on the outside. If they are on the inside, they are from another manufacturer. Wheel weights were made with a notch in them to allow for valve stem clearance.

One front wheel on my 102 has the stem on the inside. Guess I need to find a wheel as I am fixing it up

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.
