I had a flat the other day and didn't have a Dayton handy so I grabbed an Alcoa to see if it realy did fit. Apprently all the napco front axles are 6 or 10 hole budd but if you want Dayton on the rear you use the adapter on the front.
I think some trucking companies back in the day used those adapters when they had Budds on their tractors and spokes on their trailers, that way they could interchange wheel/rims between them. Only needed one spare too.

BTW- I think the Coleman axles used a Dayton spoke type rim.
