"n the late 60's we used an M with Duals(cast wheels dished in/ dished out which allowed the tractor to ride the top of the ridge when we go-digged row crop corn. Great traction. The rear tires we not the same size, the inside were somewhat smaller"
From the mid '50s till the late '60s we ran a SM with duals mounted that way except all 4 tires were the same size. Originally we did it to pack silage & would borrow a neighbor's M & use the rear wheels off of it. After a year or two we bough our own complete set of cast centers, rims & tires and use them working ground as well.
In the spring we ran the tractor with duals. At cultivating time we would remove all four rear wheels & put the inside wheels back on with the dish in ")" and mount a 448 row crop cultivator on the tractor. In the fall we would dual the left (land ) side for plowing. Then back to duals on both sides for spring.
Looking back, it sure was a lot of man handling of wheels. I was about 12 the first time I did it by myself. I was just glad I never dropped one on me, especially considering the inside tires were filled with fluid.
