In Reply to: best type of duals? posted by Jason, NW Ontario on November 22, 2010 at 20:02:17:
I"ve had duals since I started farming from scratch in 1972. Always J-Bolts until the 150 hp (now 190) 4450 in 1992. Ease of mounting...hands down, the J-Bolts. Either system...no jacks, just set out blocks, back up the tractor. Both...bring the dual to the tractor with the skidsteer...tip into place. J-Bolts...attach anywhere. 4450 with 10 bolt hubs, I/we need to align bolt holes. Use a handyman jack to rest a 3/4 drive socket wrench with extension to match up to the bolt holes, for support (I work by myself). But, when my wonderful kids help, we do it the same, for super tightening, (either way, any tractor, retighten after an hour in the field) Now, without livestock, the duals stay on the 4450 all year, so it is not an issue. BTW- have always run more J-Bolts than recommended, like with the 4020, instead of 4, ran 6. 4240 and 4430, ran 8. On all J-Bolts, I always weld a ring, salvaged with a torch from broken springs from equipment...and run a light chain through them...so if a bolt comes loose in the field, it stays in the wheel, courtesy of the chain.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
