In Reply to: Axle for W4 posted by Ron Haling on December 16, 2009 at 15:24:33:
The wheels and axles for a W-4 and W-6 are different. The 6-series axles, like those for the Farmall M are of larger diameter than those for the 4-series and Farmall H. However, the 24 inch rims which used on both the early W-4 and W-6 should be the same and if you have the original 24 inch wheels, which did not change with the change to 26 inch rims (the 24 inch rims were 2 or 3 piece rims as they had no drop-centre to let you get the tyre over the lip of the rim) whereas the 26 inch rims were one-piece with a 1 inch drop- centre. The early W-6 used the same 26 inch drop-centre rims from about 1942 onwards which is about the same time that the W-4 also went to the 26 inch drop-centre rims. Later still the W-6 went to 28 inch rims which involved a new larger diameter wheel centre and then later again they went to a larger drop-centre to use 30 inch rims. The early wheels for both 24 and 26 inch rims had round holes in the wheel whereas the larger wheels later used on the W-6 with 28 and 30 inch rims had more rectangular holes in the casting to give a more spoked appearance.
