Kits were widely available 20 or so years ago that used a "collar-spacer" which slipped inside the stock rim and then allowed another rim and tire to be mounted on the outside. The dual rim was secured to the original by means of "J-bolts" and turnbuckles which hooked into eye-bolts that replaced some of the mounting nuts at the end of the wheel spokes. These things worked great, but had two major flaws: An M has a 6-spoke wheel, a Super M has an 8-spoke wheel. The M wheel castings have been known to break under extreme use. We snapped a left rear axle on a Super M with this setup when using a dual on only the left side when plowing. Worked fine until all the weight was supported by the dual. If you use it for disking and other tillage with all the wheels on the ground, you'll like it.
