If you are talking a 66 rowcrop, then dual wheels for it would have been an aftermarket add on. The first designs were cast spacers that attached to the wheels on the tractor by four 3/4 inch bolts and then the outside of this hub was machined to take a stand rim bolt pattern. This started around here in the early to mid 1950's. Then the "snap on design" became popular. This is th type that requires the spacer and believe me they came in several different widths. Which width spacer you used depended on what you were doing with the tractor and what crops you grew. If you were one of these farmers that planted in 30 inch rows at that time you used wide spacers. That way the dual ran between the next rows. On your larger tractor you used the close type spacer so the implement you were pulling would take out the wheel tracks. I would not know who to ask but there are probably several sets of spacers laying around in sheds for Fleetline Olivers that have not been used in 20-30 years. Also if you put the duals on, you need to run less air pressure in the duals, saves on axle bearings. Questions? There were also 66 & 77 tractors used to cultivate tomatoes that had spacers to make the center to center distance about 9 feet or more. Three row tomato planters reversed that decision, then it was set the back wheels in to a narrow position and you had to have a wide front to straddle the center row.

To mount a set of bolt on duals, you would need a spacer. I don't know if Oliver ever made one for this tractor, or where you could find one if they did. Chances would be pretty slim to find a pair. If you're handy in the machine shop, you could make a pair yourself w/ some thick wall pipe and 2 thick plates, say 3/4" thick or so. Other wise you would need a set of clamp on's like pk7jd said.

The duals you will install on your 66 are called clamp-ons. You need two spacer rings; this sets the dualed rim out from your single. And you need to in install eyes in your single rims; I beleive you have stamped steel rims so you will need to drill about six holes in the inner portion of your rims to do this. A hook that is attached to the dualed rim will attach to those eyes in your singe rim.

You will find all the parts you need at:www.gemplers.com under tractor accessories- tractor dualing parts.

Just get another pair of rims and hubs and clamp them on you axles, no special equipment or spacers needed.

I have the spacer needed to add the duals. It is cast iron and bolts on where the wheel weights bolt on and the other end has the nine bolt pattern for the hubs. I will sell them and I live in Ohio.
