I am at my wits end trying to find two rear rims for my tractor. Kubota no longer makes the rims and I can't seem to find the right thing. Can anyone here help me? They are the AG tires 9.5/9x24 the rims rusted completely through on both of them. Is there something else that fits?

I've got a pair off of an L1500 I'm not needing/using. Don't know if they are the same width as you need but I do know they are 22". One has a good rice tire on it. One has a BAD rice tire on it!

I'll check to see what the tire size is.

I edited this because I said they were 24" and they are 22".

They are likely 8.3 x 22 and cost $400 each to replace.

If it helps at all I don't know but Big rig steel rims are less than 200 bucks each new..... probably less used They and are 22.5's Cut out and weld in a new center. Check to see first though if they sell tractor tires in 22.5 size rim..... or industrial/commercial truck tires that are cost effective. Used military tires?

If your 4wd (DT) then suspect one would also need knew taller front tires to keep ratio's the same.

Thanks for the E-bay info. My rims are still good but at that price it would make sense to get a pair. My tractor is old enough to have the dreaded calcium in the rears.

This is the correct rim, but it is a two-part.

Measure the bolt pattern of your hubs, and check if they are the same for the newer Kubotas. (I think they are.) Any Kubota dealer should be able to supply the inner dish.
The problem is that this can end up being pretty expensive.

Another possible option is to look at the 15r19.5 industrial tires - you can get a set of them for about $750 on ebay. The diameters are awfully close, and you end up with awesome traction! The same info about the bolt pattern applies.

I'm switching my tires over today and thought I would send a picture of the route I took when dealing with the exact situation you're in right now.
It was less than 400 bucks if I remember correctly.
