Has anybody ever heard of a A B or G with duals on it?

Yeah, my dad had duals for a short time in the early '50s on a JD B. He slid existing wheels in on the axle, and borrowed another pair of wheels off another tractor, and just slid them on the axles outside the origional pair. Used them while disking up a recently cleared muck field which had origionally been a cedar swamp. He used a 4' disk tiller, and it worked well for the purpose. Local farmers were laughing their **** off at him. Funny thing, no one is laughing at their grandsons driving 4wd's with duals and triples now. An idea before it's time!

Yes they made dual wheel setup for unstyled rowcrops. Round spoke duals....very expensive....cost between 8,000-10,000. Look great when on unstyled widefronts. Plus the tires for them are very expessice because they run the old 7.00x40 tire which is a little over 300 a tire. ANd you need 4. They are very rare and generally are owned by people with deep pockets.

There was an unsyled A wide front with spoked duals at the Temple Texas show last October, and I have seen photos of dualed B, G, and D.

The fellow that does my serious mechanical work had an A with duals on their farm 50 years ago. They added them to sneak the spreader across some soggy fields. It was also used to fill about 50 silos and pick 500 acres of corn a year.

There is a picture of a B with duals on page 63 of the March issue of Green Magazine. I don't know if this was an original option. Maybe some one else does. It does look good!

I've got GW serial no. 28101, lookin' at that I'd say you'd have to find a set of 9 bolt centers and use pressed steel wheels dished out and put the clamping hubs face to face. Some G's had longer axles though and I guess you could mount the regular cast wheel set up on one of them.

I was at a power show in Lagrange Indiana
and seen an unusual set up on a pair of A's.
They were hooked together to make a 4 X 4.
front end was removed from rear tractor and
a frame set up was made to connect the two.
Both had duals.
