Looking for a factory spare that's not completely rotted out. I know, they're getting harder to find.

I'm located in the Kalamazoo, Mi. area. But I'll be willing to drive for one.

Building a new set of front hubs for our 8N for a school project, basically putting turf tires on it. Opted for completely new hubs as it would make a more interesting project and more easily get the spacing and bolt pattern correct.

I had two that I THOUGHT were the same, but to my horror one is a 225/70R14 with a smaller center hole in the rim.

It's a long shot, I'd kinda like them to at least match.

Also if anyone has 15" Deer Hoof wheels, I'm interested in those as well.

I have one, but it is attached to my Ranger and I don't want to give it up! Trying to keep it as original as possible, but I just wanted to say "Hi!" to someone who is local!

Howdy! I understand not wanting to give up your good spare lol

No chance on getting a newer junkyard spare and letting poor Ledd have that one eh? Nah, it's all good.

I'll just have run up to Perks and keep pestering them now and again after snow/ice storms (sadly). Do you know of any other decent yards around the area?
