Wheel Adapter for Kids Electric Tractor

This wheel adapter fits a Peg Perego 6V John Deere Power Pull Tractor Powered Ride-On. The original wheels are hard plastic and slip easily on wet grass or small inclines. This adapter allows you to install a different wheel or tire. The adapter meshes with the Peg Perego drive gear box and provides 4 holes for bolting on the new wheel. You will need to hex head bolts long enough to fit.

This particular tractor model only has 1 drive wheel. The adapter is only needed for the drive wheel. The opposite, passive wheel, doesn't need the adapter but does need a sleeve for the axle so that the new wheel will fit.

You will need to buy/make an appropriate wheel that fits. I used these wheels from McMaster-Carr: Steel-Hub Pneumatic Wheel, Center-Mount Hub with Ball Bearing, 12" Diameter x 4-1/8" Wide, Black Wheel (Part number 2717T44). You need to drill 4 holes in the wheel. I printed the adapter first, then put it on the wheel and marked the hole locations using a long nail through the holes in the adapter.

With these wheels, the stock axle will not be long enough. I extended the axle using a coupling nut from a local hardware store (sorry, I don't remember the thread that fits). I put the extension on the drive side. Use the sleeve parts to increase the effective diameter of the axle so that the wheel fits appropriately.

Spray paint the rims yellow to get that sleek look!
