I found a cheap pair of T-rails that are the same size as my 1850's, but can they fit with the adjustable width wheel? Maybe thread on some eye bolts, hook'em on and tighten? I just wasn't sure what the SOP was with putting duals on the adustable width wheels. I'm going to try and give my old gasser some more traction to pull my 22' disc! It probably won't work, but it'll look good! You just can't beat these old tractors. I'd have 10 if my wife wouldn't kick me out.

Yes you can. We run clamp-ons on our 285 massey w/ the slide rails. You can get the eyes from your local ag tire supplier.

They have a special eyelet that will clamp on your adjustable wheel rails. I'd run 6 per wheel if you can.

darn, my 1955 has those eye bolts on it. I wondered what they were for, duals. Hmmm. I wish I wouldn't have known that, that means it's probably been pulled pretty hard right?

Not always, but yeah I'm sure it has been worked hard back in it's day. Sometimes duals are more just for the flotation factor so you don't leave tracks in your seedbed. Our 1855 pulls fine but we use duals to leave the tracks to a minimum. Barely any tread on them, maybe 5%. Don't worry about how hard your 1955 was worked, because if it's held together this long it probably will for a very long time yet.

Don't be afraid to make a little black smoke roll out either. Sometimes if it's running rough it needs a bigger load on it to clean it's self out. Our Massey 285 went through this for a few years, where we use it all winter on the manure spreader. Come round by spring and the raincap was caked with blow-by and all sorts of nasty greasy crud. Hook onto the disc or cultivator for about and hour or more. The temp would get up to normal, the gunk would all burn off and it would run great again.

Mine runs real good. It has supposedly only been used for baling hay for quite some time. But I found the original Oliver dealer sticker on it that says it was sold new In Erie, ILL, so I'd imagine it has seen some tillage work over there.

The good thing is if you want to you can pick up a pair for next to nothing at a lot of auctions. Then you can really make her grunt.
