Tractor mud wheels TRACTORS Modifications 12-3-33 Your 2-WD tractor can work its way through even the muddiest ground if you equip it with a set of smaller-size "mud-proof duals" that only get used when the regular front wheels sink into the mud.
Lloyd Atchison, Pipestone, Manitoba, often has trouble with the low-lying marshy ground in his area. He especially runs into trouble when stacking hay with his IH Hydro 70 loader tractor. To "mud-proof' the tractor he attached 16-in. wheels to the outside of the standard 18-in. front wheels. On dry fields the outside wheel rides just above the ground. When the tractor hits a soft spot, the add-on tires take• hold.
Atchison mounts the add-on wheels with metal spacers that weld to the outside wheel and bolt onto the inner wheel. He makes the spacers just wide enough to leave a slight gap between the tires.
The idea can also be used on rear tractor tires and Atchison says other farmers in his area have added "mud" duals to their big balers.
