I deem that one worthy of a complete restoration! Very cool.

Can I give that a "third"? That's one cool looking forklift.

    Anyone know what these rims are called
they have a small flange and nut on each spoke.
but are not split rims
the tires are 16" light truck tires and I would like to use my coats 40/40 tire machine to change them but with no center hub that's not going to work
Do you know if coats made an adaptor for wheels like this or were these done by hand back in the day?
Since there were not rim clamp machines back then.
Thanks for your help and replies to this post

Were they called a Bud wheel? We had them on the front axle of International cabovers. 22 inch wide tires to get licences in Saskatchewan

Maybe look for an attachment to do motorcycle tires. That may work.

That definitely looks like it would be a fun restoration. Judging by your location, I doubt there would be much rust to deal with.
