6 lug bolt pattern
Can anyone point me to drawings or illustrations showing Ford 6 lug bolt patterns? I'm trying to identify hubs used on my V8 60 powered rail frame midget. It uses mainly Ford parts for the front suspension. It has a narrowed Model A front axle, '32-24 Ford spindles and Ford 6 lug hubs.
I'd like to purchase a couple new hubs but can't seem to find their origin. I've talked to some Ford tractor guys and they say they are not 9N or 8N. Any help or leads would be great. Thanks! Bart |

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
My first thought was that they look like my '54 NAA Ford hubs, but I think they are the same as 8N.

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
My guess is thats a Model T back half hub for a wood wheel. Someone drilled the hub and welded in the studs.
A wood model T hub had six bolts.. Thats how you could have done it back then , beats me on the wheel used though.. |

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
Model T? Some T's used twelve spoke wooden wheels with six lugs, but I have no idea about adapting T hubs to early V-8 spindles. Machine work on hub or spindle, bearing swap? With the T spindle being simpler I would like to see the spindles on your midget, I'm betting they were machined for T hubs.

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
It looks like a 6 on 5 sprint car/midget hub. Pretty much standard on vintage circle track cars till spline drives came in.. Still available from a lot of small race car equipment suppliers.

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
I guess it doesn't look like 8N or T unless the outer end of the T was cut off.

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
Didn't the 3/4 ton F2 pickups have 6 lugs?

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
Pretty sure it is a T hub with the end cut short and a bearing fitted somehow. Or appears that way in the pictures.

Also inside the smaller (outer) bearing casting a S inside a circle just past where the race stops. I have plenty of wheels. There are lots of steel and magnesium 12" midget wheels available that fit the bolt pattern. This is a finished car I'm doing some updates to. |

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
Don't forget the fact that there is a "FORD" script on THIS hub. DD

Re: 6 lug bolt pattern
Early midgets used a lot of model T parts like frames, axles, cross members, so more than likely they are T.
