    Description

    This listing is for a pair of rear wheels from an old gasoline powered road roller that was scrapped here near Bozeman Montana back in the 1970's. I have only shown one wheel so far but will have more and better photos soon that show both wheels which appear to be identical. I believe they are from a Kelly Springfield roller but am not sure so please help me out on the identification of these wheels if you possibly can.
    These wheels weigh about 3,100 pounds each and measure 68 inches in diameter by 20 inches wide. The rims or tires are approximately 2-1/4 inches thick at the inner and outer edges and 1-3/4 inches thick otherwise. The axle center hole is 4-1/2 inches in diameter. The spokes are made from flat steel bar that is 3 inches wide by 3/4 inches thick. The hub is 13 inches in diameter and is inset 1 inch from the back of the tire or rim and inset 4-1/2 inches from the front of the tire or rim. The offset hole in the hub for the drive pin is about 2-7/16 inches in diameter.
    These very special wheels can be used on an early road roller or for a base of a neon sign or along driveway to make a place really stand out from the others. One could even make some very heavy duty hinges and use these wheels as gates on a driveway. I have plenty of free storage here if you plan to visit beautiful Montana and pick them up on your trip. I can arrange for reasonable shipping with a motor freight broker that I deal with. Thanks a lot, Bob Woodburn in Bozeman Montana
