Valtra/Valmet help

[the village idiot]

Hi folks,

 

Longest of long shots here but I wondered if any of you had any old Valmet or N-series Valtra wheels cluttering up the yard?

 

I've bought an old Valmet 665 for forestry work but it has dinky little industrial tyres on it. I want to go back to factory spec.

 

Fronts: 13.6 24

 

Rears: 16.9 34

 

They don't necessarily have to come off a Valtra/Valmet. As long as the size is right I can get new centres made up.

 

Any help greatly appreciated!!!

A picture of the inner dish might be good, a lot of tractors used UK made GKN rims.

 

That and find the manual to see what the combinations of rim & tyre, there should be a W number also which helps fit uprated tyres sometimes.

Have a look at the May unsold lots at cheffins auctioneers in Cambridge. Or look at the catalog before hand if you really want them. It's a long shot but they have pages of tyres and rims each month.

Good shout, thanks Brushcutter.

There's a company in co. Cavan in Ireland that make rims. They were able to make a set for a compact tractor for a mate of mine at a good price, they're agents for bkt tyres too so they can send them out ready to roll.

Below is a picture of the rear dish. Does it mean anything to you? I don't speak 'Wheelrimese'

Thanks Conor,

 

There's a place near me that does the same. May have to go down that route but just casting around to see if anyone has any used ones that they may have swapped out for something else.

That's the front 🙂, W15L X 24"

You might even be able to just update the tyre instead of changing the rims.
