Guest 1937RHDNZ Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Wheel is in New Zealand. Diameter would appear to be 20 inches, brake drum internal diameter is close to 13 5/8 inches. The steel hub is 8 inches in diameter. I can't see any ID marks, but then I don't know where to look. A piece of steel rim is rusted out.My guess is 1920 something. Good clear picture attached.

Guest 1937RHDNZ Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Thanks Layden for that. I have been doing some digging myself and felt that the rim was a few years earlier. I think the 1929 has a different hub nut. But I am a novice at this. I have also had another measure up and it could well be a 21 inch rim, a little difficult to measure. Looks to me that the 1929 had 20" rims, so I had probably put you wrong. cheers Neil in NZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry29-26 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 If fellow is 20" then rim would be 21" and is not 29 buick. Hub is for 1928 master rear.Terry 29-26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I've just measured the wheel on my ' 29 standard 116 ( all 1929 Buick had 20 inch tyres)The diameter across the metal rim as you look at it in the picture is 19 1/2 inches or just short of 500mm. That's not a ' 29 hub cap on the wheel. My guess is 1928.Cheers, Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30-57 Buick Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 The hub is the same as mine 1930 Don't know off hand what my diameter is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_B Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Looks like a 28 standard to me. The master rear wheel used 6 bolts to hold the hub to the spokes. It could be older though. The difference between the 27 and 28 had to do with oil seal. Would have to see the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The hub cap is 1926 and 1927. The lugs are 1926, 1927, and 1928. As mentioned above, the diameter of the fellow is 1/2 inch smaller than the wheel size, ie, a 21 inch wheel has a 20 1/2 inch fellow diameter.The master wheel fellow measures 3 inches side to side (thickness) and the standard measures 2 5/8 inches.This is not a rear wheel from a Master. I can not tell if it is a front wheel or rear wheel from a standard without seeing the bearing or without seeing the hub with the hubcap removed. If it is a front wheel from a master, the fellow will be 3 inches wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1937RHDNZ Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thanks guys,I am sure now that it is a 21" wheel, and i forgot to mention earlier that it is a front wheel, as the stub axle is still attached. So it appears to a 1927 or 1928, which is close enough for me. Thanks for all the help. The wheel is in a poor state, so is being used for a garden ornament. Looks good too.cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
