Back Story, I picked up a 1982 Kubota L235 for FREE!! Had some hydraulic issues and needed a little TLC. I got it running and hydraulics working for nearly $0. Well the front rims were in bad shape due to the tractor sitting in a wet area on flats for years. I called around looking for wheels wanting to stay with Kubota original parts but the price tag was a little to steep, especially since I had gotten the tractor for free. I did some research and found some blank rims from miller tire (great place I highly recommend). I had to cut out the centers of my old rims and weld them onto the blanks. I'm excited to share my work with you fellas. All in all it cost me about $250. That's rims, tires, and paint. I did all the welding and fabricating myself with the help of a friend.
