Need Wheels and tires for L185

esetter · May 30, 2019

I have a L185 that currently has 4.00-15 on the front and 9.5/9-24 Ag tires on the rear. My rear rims are rusted and beginning to leak calcium chloride. I can't find wheels anywhere. I wouldn't mind going to a turf wheel and tire and the manual calls for 20X8.00-10 on the front and 13.6-16 on the rear. I would go either way AG or turf if I can find rims and tires. I've been looking for some time now with no luck. Can anyone give me some help? You can contact me at, esetter5(at)me(dot)com. Thanks

Never run CACL in any rim, big no. CACL is corrosive so you would replace the rims anyway. Wsher fluid is muc, much better if you must. I don't and I'm an ag user. I run cast centers only.

Try a reputable farm tire place. MY tractor tire dealer can get Titans mounted on rims. In fact. I'll be ordering 2 pair of 34" R1's this fall mounted on Titan rims (Titan is the preferred supplier for Kubota btw).

Ask the sales (not parts) at your Kubota dealer about buying a wheel and tire package from them as whole goods.

I've tried my local farm tire supply store and also at the Kubota dealer who says the wheels are no longer available? Don't know where to turn to next.

Hmmm, my dealer was able to get me a price on the wheels/tires for the L245DT. I've seen generic rims on Ebay for older Kubotas. You'll keep the internal wheel for the rear and just replace the rim and I think it must be a fairly common size. If your tractor isn't a DT/4X4 you can put anything on the front; I've seen car and trailer wheels that had a plate welded on and redrilled to serve as front wheels on old tractors.
