Dual wheel spacers

Greg NE · Apr 14, 2019

I tried to check the archives first for this info but couldn't find anything. What
I am looking for are a set of dimensions for the dual wheel spacers for tractors
like my 63 4000. I have a set of the extension lugs and would like to make a set of
spacers and can't seem to come up with a 'blueprint' for them. Thanks in advance!

Check about 5 posts down Pie weights on CL

The spacers I am familiar with are 2 inches wide and made of cast. Used a set when I mounted a picker on a 960 with 14.9-28 tires. They use special bolt studs that are NOT the same length as the ones used for mounting wheel weight plates. Are these what you are referring too?

When I got my Jubilee about 40 years ago it had a Sherman backhoe and pipe loader on it. It had 24" one piece rims with 2" spacers. Are these spacers the same as duel wheel spacers?

To my way of thinking, Ford never built "dual wheel" spacers. He built a 2 inch "spacer" and a 4 inch extension. The 2 inch spacer was to get more clearance at the rear wheels, were needed and the 4 inch extensions were built so power adjusted rear wheels could be fully utilized on the 6/800 style tractors

No.

The pictured spacers were commonly used to space the wheels on 9 series tractors with mounted 2 row corn pickers. It looks like someone repurposed them for use on your NAA.

Dual wheel adapters are thinner and are needed to provide space between reversed dish centers. They can be used with the same adapters as are used for pie weights but somewhat different adapters were originally supplied with them.

Here is what the plate looks like on my 950.You should be able to figure out the width. They are just a little wider than the shoulder of the adapter nut. They had there own adapter nut which has a round surface but they were the same length as the pie weight adapter nuts. The pie weight nuts have been used by many for the duals. Original nuts would be harder to find then the plates. The plates Oldseabee shown are wider and for a picker as Dean said. They used a longer adapter nut.

not sure if it's what you want, but a pair of dual wheel spacers/adapters just went up on eBay -

search 'ford tractor dual wheel spacer'

Those are the 4 inch extensions for power adjusted rear wheels on 6/800 series tractors

Agreed.

Such extenders cannot be used for dual wheels.
