I'm pretty sure all of them are 6" nose wheels....

My mistake. Is it a 5.00x5?

Josh,
You got it ...5.00x5.
If anyone wanted to go to a 6", first deal is they would have to have a modification to the fork - the nosegear fork fits pretty close to the tire. Then it would raise the nose a bit too so it would not be a simple matter of just changing the wheel/tire.

I think Steve Wilson converted his nose wheel to a 6 inch wheel, you might check with him.

Yes I did. The front fork did have to be modified. I put a 6:00x6 on the front and 8:00x6 on the mains. It's a good mod.

Good Lord Steve, what process are you using to get your pics into the forum. It is so large that when I shrink it down to view it I can't even read your text because the letters are too small. We all need to use your method.

Eddie,
I tried really, really hard to downsize the photo to something sensible, but that bugger just would not shrink down!! I don't know what happened, but it IS HUGE!!
In fact, I think the photo of the wheel is ACTUAL SIZE !!
Sorry, everyone.........

Steve is just an Over Achiever. I hope everything is spelled correctly. The input area is the size of a postage stamp. I have no idea what I’m typing, and I can’t zoom in.
