Kubota wheels in my Massey

[SpongeBran]

I remember reading someone swapped Kubota wheels onto their Massey tractor. I still haven't fixed my tire issues, but I'm thinking about doing the same maybe upgrading to better tires if those rims fit, the dealer won't even respond, so I'm done waiting on them

Swapping wheels can work, but it's not just about getting the tire to fit the rim, it's about the rim fitting the tractor's hub safely.

Make absolutely certain the bolt pattern, lug nut type (conical vs. spherical), and especially the load rating of the Kubota wheels are compatible with your Massey.
You don't want to overstress a wheel designed for a lighter tractor. If you're struggling to get precise measurements or specs, it might be worth finding a specialized tractor wheel and tire shop (not just a general tire shop) in your area.
They might have the cross reference info or be able to fabricate an adapter safely if needed

Thanks for the detailed advice, I hadn't considered load rating or lug nut differences. I'll check those specs carefully and look for a specialized wheel shop nearby

You might try measuring the bolt pattern and hub bore to compare with Kubota specs, many models are close enough to swap, but spacing and offset matter too, a tire shop could help confirm fit.

I agree with this! The bolt pattern on the hub might be different, and the center bore could be a different size too. You'd have to measure everything up first, bolt circle diameter, number of studs, and the center hole. If it's not a direct bolt-on deal, check if you can use an adapter plate to make it work. Though this adds cost and can change your wheel offset, so keep that in mind. It might be easier to find a used set of Massey rims or even a different brand's rims that are a closer match and get a new set of tires mounted on those!
