I have an I6 and the axle housings are different than the W-6. It is a narrower tread than the W. I don't have 9 info, but I bet there were similar set ups for the 9 like my I-6. My 6 has the solid cast rear wheel hubs. They are 3 inches thick at the outer edge and more like 6 or 7 inches at the axle. I bet they weigh in at 400 lbs or more for each one. My 6 was used as a farm tractor because the farmer that got it originally could not get anything else in 1945, so he took the I-6. It has different gears than the W6. 4th gear is fast, and 3rd is about the same as normal 4th. 1st gear is slower than the normal 1st gear. The brakes were shot on mine and I had to take the rear rims off the hubs to get at the brakes to fix them. The rims were solidly rusted to the hubs and it took me three weeks and a special made puller system to get the first one off. The puller system used high strength threaded rod (I think it is 5/8) though all 8 of the mounting bolt holes. It still took 3 days(the second side) of soaking with PB blaster and a cheater on the bolts to break it loose. After learning, the second one came off in about 3 days. Yes...I did try driving around with the attachement bolts out. That had no effect whatsoever. My I6 has the normal M front wheels, but many have a solid cast front wheel hub as well and the wheels are larger than the 16 inch M wheels. I've seen 9s with those large solid cast front wheels as well. On the I's, the front axles are heavier made too.
