I have two of these and do not know what they are, I think they go to a tractor, can anyone help me identify them
 
Because your pics have been removed or put under a need to know only situation we are not allowed to say any more about them.
Please try to give more information along with some pics that we can see

Y'all's people skills really suck today...
Polly, those are what are known in the antique tractor world as "nunyer's"

We all know what they are and could tell you soon, but until you behave yourself and cooperate a little more, that answer is "nunyer" business....

Now behave yourself and I won't post your real handle....
 
please someone tell me if you know what this is? I have two

Picture showed up the second time.
They look like "helper" rims off a Ford 9N or 2N to me.
They bolted on beside the regular rubber tires to aid in traction.
Measurements could help determine for sure.
Particularly straight across between two of the holes on the center loop, and straight across the outside diameter.
 
they are what we called mud paddles,not true steel wheels but gave you better traction in mud or loose sand. wheel extensions basicaly are what we used them for.
 
thank you, I will have my husband check it out. At
least I'm getting somewhere on what they might be.
then I can find out if they are worth anything.
 
Like anything else, they are worth what somebody is willing to offer for them.....shipping cost is the #1 Deal Killer.

There is a pair just like yours for sale in this sites picture ads, in WI. Asking $300 OBO....still for sale.....not mine.

Polly- Now that these cretins have had their fun, what you have are traction helpers or wheel extenders. They were supposed to increase traction when bolted onto the outside of a wheel Notice they are not used today, except for other purposes, which were covered here pretty well, Please don't think bad of these harmless old forts- they haven't got much else to do. As for value, unless you find someone who really wants them, scrap value. Or put them on flea bay as mantle ornaments- buyers pays shipping.
 
Polly,
Sorry there are so many asinine replies to your question.
I believe these are "tip-toe" wheels used on a number of old tractors. During WW 2 rubber tires were mostly unavailable so steel wheels were used. After the war a farmer often bought modern rims and tires and replaced the old iron ones. Oliver and Farmall both used wheels such as you have pictured, and they were common well before the war too.
As to price, I have seen them at 450/ pair and as much as 700/ pair. It would help to know what tractors they will fit.
Best of luck with them!

Polly,

If guys on here on think they possibly belong on a Ford or Oliver... scroll down on the Discussion Forums page to find the forums for those specific tractors and post your pictures and inquire about value on those forums.

I'm thinking they should be worth something... we paid $200 for our Farmall F20 rear steel wheels and sometimes they even sell for $400 (ours had a crack that my husband had to repair and some unmatched lugs - but we had a full set of lugs anyway and he is a welder, so neither issue was a big problem to us). If nothing else, they should be worth some money as "yard art" if you can find the right buyer.
 
Dave2- You keep telling us about your improved "people skills", then you post something like that. Poor lady is just trying to get some information, and everybody is messing with her. Its not like she's a "regular" and knows everybody's personality quirks. . .
And please don't tell me not to "get 'em in a wad"- that's a pretty tired and hackneyed response, as well.
 
I have a paur that came with a loader for a 2n or 9n Ford. They bolt on the wheel outside the tires, good traction but a bad ride!
 
I believe a few of the guys are being helpful and they do look like the old 'helper wheels' that bolted on and helped paddle through the mud - sort of like a steel wheel dual.

The value is very hard to determine, if no one wants them today well than they are worth scrape iron price. Someday 2 guys will both be very interested in them and over $500 won't be enough.

It is just very difficult to access a value to something like that - rare but not really a 'wow' collector's item.

I hope you find them a good home and you get some value out of them.

It's easy to be sarcastically funny on the internet and think you are enjoying a good laugh _with_ someone, but turns out you are not being nice at all. I think everyone who was joking with you meant to be having a nice smile with you, but I bet it seemed kinda bewildering to you.

Polly, this first picture is the hub of a Ford 9N/2N.
Notice the large 6 bolt pattern around the red hub.
This is where I believe those helper rims bolt to. They are to help in mud and loose dirt as jackinok and donjr (I think) also mentioned.
The second picture is the later 8N and NAA style 8 bolt hub. They obviously would not bolt on there directly.
Hope that helps.

Polly: I meant no harm or disrespect, nor did any of my fellow "humorists", but we certainly were not helpful. You have my apology, and, I would surmise, theirs.
 
Polly I'm sure glad that you put up with us old giesers with our fun, next time you post make sure that the pics come through with your message.
Walt.
