Or atleats that's what it seems like to me. I got sick of putting the duals on the tractor's with a big 1 1/8" wrench, so I took advantage of the water jet at school. I found a chunk of 1" plate and burnt out the 1 1/8 hex with 1 3/4 OD and a 1/2 square to fit over the impact with the same OD. I found a peice of sch. 80 pipe and hasd the lathe guy at work bore out the hex about 1/8" or so deep for the pipe and turn a step on the square side to go inside the pipe. I welded it all up, it runs true and works FRIGGIN GREAT!!!

Just get the dual up there and be quick with the 1st clamp, easy going from then on. What used to take 45 min- 1 hr per side with a wrench, now takes maybe 30-45 min. for both!!! I'm hooked...

Actually kinda exited to put on the smaller 18.4-34's on the 285- those should be a cake walk! Those bigger 18.4-38's sure were a heck of a lot easier. No problem getting them off again either. Wasn't bad before but now just zip the nuts loose and drive away, don't worry about fussing with the wrench...

Think I saw that trick in Farm Journal $100 Ideas once.

I made mine by splitting an extra socket, and welding both ends to a length of pipe. Still fits the air wrench and the long pipe swallows the extra j-bolt.

You would think with warmer weather arriving I should be able to sell it, I gotta do something my mom Phyllis is on my back again to get it out of the driveway. Maybe I'll sneak it back over to Ernie Furglers parking lot it would probably be a week or two before the old fart noticed it. I gotta go, that dork Randy is making everybody work today

Good luck finding a spot in that lot! With all those unsold Christmas trees theres not much room. Don't forget to put a locking gas cap on too. Jim

Could be, but man am I ever glad I took some time to make that extra-deep socket!! It's got peice of pipe 10" long so it's got about 1-2" room in the end yet. I even put it on one of the nuts that holds the rim clmaps onto the rear tire, got them to turn a little bit more too- couldn't do that with a breaker bar...

Now I can put the duals on both tractors in the same time it takes me to do 1- frees up a heckuva lot of time in my book. And that's worth it.

I'll have to take a picture when I'm doing the other set of duals.
