An Important Update to the 15x24 Wold Waffle Wheel

January 07, 2025

During recent research and testing, the Wold Rim & Wheel team identified a change to the 5100R John Deere tractor tire’s stock wheels. As a result of the product change, our 15x24 Titan replacement waffle wheel was affected.

The bolt-to-bolt measurement on the John Deere waffle wheel is now 3 ¾ inches, as opposed to the previous 4-inch measurement. Our replacement wheel also measures 4 inches from one bolt to the next, because it was designed as a replacement for the John Deere model.

Our team did attempt to swap out the John Deere waffle wheel with our Titan replacement model, but due to the new measurements, we could only get 4 of the 8 bolts to fit. That means the two center wheels cannot be used interchangeably right now.

Watch the video as Wold Sales Manager, Luke Fossey, walks you through the discovery, how it might affect you and the steps we’re taking toward a solution. You can also view the full video on our new YouTube channel.

This is an important update because waffle wheel rims are used on a variety of types and sizes of agricultural machinery, from small utility tractors to large mechanical front-wheel-drive tractors. As a result, we have a large inventory of waffle wheels in varying sizes, bolt patterns and colors. The update only applies to the 15x24-inch waffle wheels.

For the time being, we recommend buying the replacement wheel and center to ensure the parts fit together as intended. We can ship and deliver the new solution quickly so you don’t go long without the necessary equipment.
