Wish I had pictures of my dad's 1946 JD "B". In the early '50s he had a cedar swamp bulldozed to make a pasture. Wanted to disk it up with a 4' disk tiller. (Very heavy). He thought a set of steel cleated wheels outside the rubber tires would dig in when they lost footing in the muck. Unable to find steel, he rented a set of rubber off a tractor at the local JD dealer - spoked wheels no less. Just slid existing wheels in and slid duals on the outside of axles. Got along well did his disking, seeded it to reed canary grass which fed the cows for 20 years, and still grows there 60 years later. Neighbors were laughing their hineys off... But look what their grand kids are running today. As a side note, couple years back I got into that area with MF 180, and had one heckova time time getting it back out even with a heavy tractor on the hard level on a long tow strap. And that was on a heavily sodded area. Guess he had to use those duals.
