Wardner: Another idea I looked at 35 years ago was 656, and having duals spaced for corn planting 30" rows using a second set of cast wheels. Farmall 656 has same wheel as SM, 400, etc. Axles were not long enough to give spacing I wanted. I never did do this, by the way. My idea was to get an axle stub about 12" long, clamp it in outside wheel, weld a snug sleeve to it that could slide over tractor axle. Then I was going to find a heavy wall pipe same inside diameter as outer circumference of wheel weight mounting holes. I then planned on putting long bolts through both inside and outside wheel.

I expect you could do the same with that 660, with the exception of the axle shaft coupler. I figured the axle coupler would make it stronger, should outside wheel take all the weight.

With regards to snap on duals. I have seen the snap on duals wear the inside rim if they weren't held tight together. I expect that being loose is how folks broke cast with snap on duals. Loose wheel can be awfully hard on cast hubs, as some of us learned in our younger years.
