Farmall F20 Steel Wheels

luv2wrench · Sep 25, 2014

Just brought home a F20 on full steel not running, missing the mag.

Question is how much damage will be done to my shop floor by the large cast steel wheel lugs?? Will it even roll or just drag across when I push it in with tractor and loader?

Sitting in my yard on the crushed rock as of right now. The style of lugs are the larger cast lugs (skeleton style they call them around here)

I am thinking of taking them off?? Just to get it in the shop??

Got any bridge planks? Actually, I doubt if those lugs will do much more than leave some scratch marks on the floor.

Sheets of plywood work great also.

If you roll it in slowly it shouldn't do any damage. If you do use wood planking is the best.

boards strips of old plywood cut old tires and wire over lugs any of above work even layered strips of old carpet. don't put lugs on concrete, makes a mark and also will chip out slight depressions that show up later you will cuss the sweet old boy that did it the first time creeper wheels end up in one and you try to roll out from under vehicle.

got a buddy that does quite abit of tinkering on steel wheeled tractors and he just uses sheets of plywood, when they get to broken/splintered up he just tosses them in the wood stove and gets afew more

I would keep them from being directly on cement. I personally would use planks or wood of some type. If you push/pull the tractor, the wood might want to slide instead of wheel turning but just let the wood slide if this happens. Just make sure the wheels roll enough to be onto the wood.

I would just go buy two 2x8's that are the desired length... Can't imagine that the tractor would ever hurt those!

I used old conveyor belting, it works great to protect the floor. You might want to see if you can find any in your area. Most places are happy to get rid of it.

I had a Farmall H on steel. The lugs did mark the concrete floor significantly as it rolled in and out of the shed. It kind of lurched from side to side as each lug was alternated on the wheel and the wheel would flex..
The lugs would punch through 3/4" plywood right to the concrete but it did help a bit.
