    I have a massey tractor with 34" rear wheels, with all the wet ground I decided to look for a set of dual wheels, came accross this pair in the photos. Of course my wheels have nothing to clamp onto so I was wondering has anyone seen this system before, what does the bracket on the tractor wheels look like ?

    i think you pull the handle and the lug goes out and grips onto the other wheel,you pull the handle in and it tightens the wheels together,but this takes a bit of force

    Yes - you use a lever or pipe to pull the handle, but I dont know what needs to be on the tractor wheel for the clamps to grip onto.

    I've never seen that particular system before, but it looks like the rectangular pad with the circular pin locates onto a receiver pad with a suitable hole in it on the tractor wheel, and the hook then locks the two together.

    I'd suspect that the receiver pad on the tractor wheel needs to be welded to the wheel.

    Apart from having to dismantle the tractor wheel (to keep from burning/melting the tyre/tube), it shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of a competent fabricator to assemble and fit something suitable.

    Its a 5455, I think there's too much messing and extra fab. with this system. might look for the more popular single center clamp system, Still have to weld reveivers on the tractor rim though -which is not pleasant, but at least I can buy the receivers off the shelf.
