Dual hardware

Well that was a little aggravating. I rolled a dual up next to the tractor with those power adjust rims. I hadn't noticed before,but there's a block welded under the rail so the spacers won't go on to the rim on the tractor. You can just see them through the hole in the eye. I had to take the torch and cut eight notches in each spacer so they'll slip all the way in.

A litte arts and crafts. Now they work. So from what you describe right from the factory, were they wrong or they are not ment to go all of the way in. None of my stuff has adjustable rims.
 
If I adjust the rims in or out,it changes the length of the hooks I'd need. I didn't want to have to keep setting them the same if I wanted to put them on in a hurry. I set them in when I'm planting and back out when I'm haying so that's where they stay the rest of the year. If it gets soft when I'm hauling manure in early spring,I want to just be able to put them on quick and go.
I just bought that tractor a year ago. It's got hubs for axle duals. If I find a set of them for what I'm willing to pay,it won't matter anyway.
 
I don't think they were meant for clamp on duals. Like I told Loren,the tractor has hubs for axle duals,I just don't have the rims for them. I had that set of clamps ons here and want to use them to haul manure when it gets soft.
 
I put duals on my D17 when I started farming in "72. No extra clamp like that- I just hooked the J bolt over the inside edge of the rail. They never loosened up.
 
Here's what I'm talking about. The first picture shows that block that's welded into all the rails on the 2-105. The second picture shows one on the 1850. Those don't have that block in there.

That is even better...they can't slip this way!
 
From what we have had in the past with those clamps on the rails.The block doesn't affect anything,you have them on 90 degrees from what they are suppose to go.They straddled the rail and are held on by the three set screws and the rail gives you your clearance for the hook.

I believe the problem was the band on the dual could not slide all the way onto the tractor rim....
 
Eldon had it right. Look at the other pictures. I had to notch the bands because of the blocks that are factory welded under the rails.
 
Looks exactly like the hardware on my Massey. Will have to look, but don't think the little blocks are there. Think rail is set a little further in on the rim. Was equipped with hardware, and duals when I got it.
 
Now I understand where you torched! My dual rims already had half-moon cutouts in the edge, every 90 degrees. Yes, AC Power Shift wheels also have those little support blocks. But I still don"t see the need for the castings- just another thing to loosen.

I have seen them with blocks, without blocks, and inset rails on one side, inset rails on both sides...a lot depends on rim width and manufacturer.
 
I don't know what you're cutting..Im sure you know it is very dangerous to cut or weld on wheels with tires mounted. There are some pretty crazy videos of exploding tires.
