These studs have heads that were about1 1/2" inch long instead of about 1/2". There are threads inside of the the head of the same size and pitch as the stud. It looks like someone just bolted a standard D17 wheel with these studs in addition to the one that was already there. It could be done. I don't know how it worked. I'd expect it to be too weak since there is no hub center ring to carry the weight. And I've never seen this kind of stud since.   [Reply]   [Send Email]

Both Wd45's had a set of M&W 13x28 I think they were duals which used J bolts to attach to the inner wheel rails.They never ever worked loose that I can remember.   [Reply]   [No Email]

You could do what I did in 1972 on my first D17- used band duals, held on with J-bolts that hooked around the end of the Power Shift rails. Snugged up tight, never came loose. Could also install eyes in the inside wheel centers, and hook the J-bolts to them. I use those same duals that way, now on a Ford backhoe.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Wider space is better in mud.   [Reply]   [No Email]

Make them 10 inches wide for 4 inches spacing. Remember, the dual band is two inches smaller diameter than the wheel you are matching up to.   [Reply]   [No Email]

I was thinking of how I modified the 16.9x28 dual to fit an 18.4x26 combine wheel. I used a 26 inch band, mounted to the 28 inch band, with 3/4 inch square stock at 90 degree spacing around the band, bolted to both the 26 and the 28 inch bands. That setup matched the 26 inch combine wheels. FWIW, those two sizes are the same in height, so match well.   [Reply]   [No Email]
