As some of you may know, I am not a farmer. Heck, I only have five acres. I suppose I could do as Mike Dukakis advised and grow a cash crop of Belgium endive but how do you sell the stuff. Although Mike used to be my Governor, he is not exactly a neighbor who might frequent my roadside stand. Anyway, I like tractors and if they are unusual I like them better. I think a 660 with factory duals would qualify. While the idea of duals from Gempler's sounds interesting, I would really like to use the IH hardware. So in that light, I am including the parts book illustration of the duals that fit a 660. They do not fit a 560 standard tread nor does the book list any for that tractor. If anyone has a lead on those parts, let me know. 
I am also including two pictures of my 660 wheel. I can't be sure how the "drum" attaches to the wheel. Does it replace the existing wheel-to-rim bolts or does it use the other eight holes (with square recesses) not currently being used. Are my existing rims with the riveted lugs no good for this application. Would I have to get four new rims? We are now talking about alot of money over and above the parts in the previous picture. 
Assuming the factory set-up is not available new or used, or the total cost of doing it right is "outta sight", would a Gempler's solution work with my wheels and rims. I have an extra set of tires but would have to get 2 rims. Hugh indicated that a spacer would have to be welded to the new rims so I suppose any 34" rim that would work with a 18.4 X 34 would be satisfactory. What additional hardware would be required over and above the tires and rims? Would the extra eight holes figure into the installation? Can I forget about J-bolts and lever clamps. Would I simply weld new lugs to the new spacers? What should tire wall to adjacent tire wall distance be? Are my 660 wheels similar to anything that came later starting with the 06 series? In other words, could my dual setup be transferred to another tractor?

Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
