Ok, I bought a set of duals for the old 806 for this year. 18.4-34's on 9 bolt rims, as everybody seems worried about running clamp on's on those tractors. Plus, I think axle duals look better on the tractor. (mine had clamp- on's before I owned it, I have the eyelets to prove it.)
Anyway, drives are set with the "dish" of the hub inward, on the "Inner" bevel. I had them set this way for plowing. I'm considering leaving the hubs "In" and moving the rims to the "outer" bevel, effectively narrowing the tractor. I'm hoping this will allow me to set it all the way in for pulling the planter, and for mounting the duals, and also allow me the room to slide the whole wheel out to plow with, in the future.
I won't be plowing much in the future, but possibly some, I purchased a Chisel Plow last fall. Tractor needs duals to pull it well. If I make some money farming this year, Hopefully there will be new tires mouned up this fall to pull the chisel, to match the 2 year old "new" drives. :)
So, where I'm going with this is, How does everybody else set up their tractors?
A few more pieces of info on mine- I don't have the factory long axles for duals. I have standard length axles. I think this will mean that I will need what I call the extended length M+W hubs, and slide the drives all the way in to mount the 9 bolt hubs. I already have 1 of the M+W hubs, and will need to find another to match.
