Hi all,

I'm down in deepest muddiest Devon and currently running a B2530 with turf tires. Needing to do some work in a field which is really muddy and not sure the turfs will be effective.

I've found a set of B2650 rear wheels and tyres (with 9.5-18 ) which seem to match what a B2530 can run. I'm planning on leaving the turf tires on the front.

The B2530 has the hexagonal wheel hub attached to the rim itself by 6 bolts. Any idea whether I could take the hex hubs off and fit them to the B2650 wheels? Are they standard sizes, spaces?

TIA

First are you in Devon England?
As that would explain the B2530, as that is not a US model EU only.

Are you axles round with fixed hubs or HEX with removable hubs?
The WSM looks like fixed Hubs.

The B2650 is also a fixed hub model, now if they have the same bolt pattern or size I do not know.

Now for one more piece of the puzzle you can not change just the rear wheels as you will damage the drive system because the ratios will be wrong.
AG on the rear you will need the matching set (ratio match) on the rear.

You mean the matching set on the front. If the rears are changed, the fronts need to be changed so that the ratio isn't altered.

Thanks both, I did not realise the ratios mattered but that would make sense.

And yes, in Devon, England. The B2530 is an odd little model that was only done for about 8 years in the EU. Lots of them knocking around France I understand.
