Massey Harris 444 Fitted With Homemade Spoke Wheels TRACTORS Antiques 27-1-43 I'm sending along a photo of my antique Massey Harris 444 tractor and the homemade spoke wheels I built for it. The spokes are made out of 3/4-in. dia. steel and are welded to wheel rims that measure 11 by 38 on back and 16 in. on front. To hold everything in place, I fabricated a jig out of 6-in. channel iron in the shape of a cross. The wheel hubs were made out of 12 and 6-in. dia. gas line couplers. My total cost was $385.
