Dual Wheel Spacers

Any way to tell if these are original? Did IH stamp them in any way? Seem to be priced a little high.

Way to expensive. Dual wheels look stupid anyway. If you really want a set I know where there's some for far less.

I have thought about duals, just to showcase that option. IF I did put them on, I would only dual a 6-12 wheel. I think the larger wheels do look stupid dualed. I'd never buy something this expensive. I was more curious if the OEM ones were marked in some way.

Tim,
They don't look stupid. They serve a purpose. My 124 has them and also wheel weights and the tires are filled. I use it to pull my plugger and other lawn stuff. Although they were on it when I bought the tractor.

What size are those wheels?

I'm just not a fan of them, they make the rear so much wider than the front that it looks goofy to me. It's your tractor so as long as you're happy that's all that matters.

Guess you have to be a farmer for them to look normal. If you have need for them, it's worth it. If your just doing it to be "cool", you can spend money elsewhere.

Like in Ronnie's case, I'm not sure he really "needs" them to pull a plugger. But since he already has them it's alright.

I have a set. Used them on the 125 while doing dirt work with the tractor making a water way in someones yard. I was on a slope and it gave me more traction and stability. I hope to have a rear implement wide enough to be able to use them again.


Lance, those are 8.50's.

Now to me, those look right. Anything bigger would just look rediculous, especially turfs. Duals on a gt are hard to make look right, but i like Ambrolas.

Mostly, like Jon said, implements arent even the width of the duals let alone wider so it looks out of line for what farmers are used to seeing. But in areas where you want to lessen the ground pressure, gain traction, and side to side stability, they are very nice.

Lance,

I cannot believe those "SOLD" for that price.....I suppose anything is possible. The kind of dual wheel spacers that you get kind of depends on the duty of the tractor. I use these on my O and I reversed the inside rims to give it a more narrow stance.

Granted I don't get "true" traction, but they have never slipped on me either, with them but they do seal around the rim, they are affordable and keep the snow/dirt out.
