Duals on an E1A Major

Amatt · Sep 27, 2019

I am in NW Ohio and have a Fordson Major with 10x36" rear wheels. It seems to cut some deep dracks after plowing that the disc doesn't do a good job of filling. Is there any options for putting duals on the rears? I searched google and there aren't many examples of duals on the new majors except for county and roadless conversions. Any ideas? Thanks!

We used to use a set of rims from another Major, take them to a local fab shop and have a spacer ring rolled and welded into the the inside of the bead flange. Four eye nuts in the wheel disc/rim mounting bolts, and 3/4""J" bolts through the drilled out disc flanges on the dual rims. Good luck.

Maybe look for or build a set of Cage wheels. Cage wheel duals were popular in some areas before tire type duals. They are pretty easy to put on and off.
Other option might be to find a pair of old combine wheels and tires and go with wider rubber. You would probably have to make an adaptor plate to mount them on the Major though.
