Anthony just to complete the picture. My front wheels are Aveling traction wagon front wheels, correct number of 10 spokes and a very similar pattern of hub to the Marshall. These hubs have been machined to take the correct pattern Marshall C.I. hub bush. This bolts to the hub on the inside and carries the screw on hub-cap. The diameter of the wheel including the solid rubber is the same as the original steel wheel at 40". This is the maximum size that can fitted and still get full lock. Virtually all of the original tractors finished their working lives as rollers and their original tractor wheels were lost decades ago. The only Tractors with original wheels are Jingling Geordie at Snibston still on steels and one in Ireland on rubbers. These two both have different wheels. Hope this clears things up.
