Anyone have plans or measurements to build one. Looking to build one that will handle rear tires and wheels on larger tractor like a 7000 series. What do people think a wheel from a 7050 or 7080 would weigh with 20.8x38 tires and 900# inner weight and full of fluid? I'm thinking at least 2000 to 2,500 pounds..... maybe more like 3,000. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| The fluid alone weighs 1156 lbs. 900 for the wieghts and 1000 lbs for the rim and tire. We used tire dollies to remove and install aircraft tires they worked great as long as your on smooth flat clean concrete floor . Out side on a concrete pad any amount of sand or small rocks made it almost imposable to move. It's much too easier to move wheels and tires around with a loader. Use a lifting strap instead of a chain a little bit of stretch and flexibility makes it pretty easy job. We use 5 k straps looped through themselfs take the tail end over to the other side and connect to the center of the strap going around the tire. The loop from side to side goes through a clevis at the loader that way the tire hangs straight up and down. I remove and install the 14.9 X 46" the farm tractors a few times every year. We just have a rack against an outside wall of the shop. Nothing but wheel chicks on the ground to prevent rolling and a 2x8 along the wall to lean against. We store in matched pairs. It doesn't realy matter which set goes to each tractor. But I try to make sure the yellow ones go on the deeres the gray ones on the magnums and red ones for the IH tractors. |

| We just did our tire swap work with an engine crane. 18.4 38s. Had to approach tires from rear and it gets a little tricky jockeying around. This would only work on a smooth floor. I also saw a tire dolly ready made for this size tire listed in a machinery trader magazine. Price seemed good. |

yesh I'm still getting over the 3,000# per tire...whatever you use ,be SURE to be SAFE ! That's the weight of a compact car you're dealling with !! I like Eldon's 'skidsteer' suggestion. Small,powerful ,easy to control.Just be sure it's ratded for at least 3500# ! safety first Jay ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

Nothing big enough for a 7000 series, but my custom build dolly handled this D15 pretty well for the few miles it had to go. http://s526.photobucket.com/user/szalmyr/media/Dave%20Zs%20stuff/DSC03100_zpsc1d73e2a.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  Trying to engineer and build one for a 20,000 lb tractor would take lots of time and money - safety would be the highest priority. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

I think I saw a skid loader attachment someone had made in Farm Show magazine, But I think a bale hugger attachment would do much the same thing, and you can get dual use out of it, if you feed cows... Here's a link: http://www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?submit_search=1&keywords1=skid%20loader%20tire%20handler&aid=26102&aid_next=5012&page_num=1&nav_previous=&nav_next=1" rel="nofollow - http://www.farmshow.com/a_article.php?submit_search=1&keywords1=skid%20loader%20tire%20handler&aid=26102&aid_next=5012&page_num=1&nav_previous=&nav_next=1 Lon, If you don't already get it, Farm Show is worth the money, lots of great ideas to steal...

| with my back the way it has been (and still is) if I needed a tractor with duals, I went out and bought one! lol, and if I needed one without duals, I went out and bought one! LOL then all I had to do usually was change a battery back and forth! unless I made money on the farm, then I could have a good battery in each tractor! LMAO! |

Well thanks guys, I've had experience removing rear wheels before and just want to see if anyone has plans or measurements to build a good wheel dolly. I used a good one lots of times when I worked at the Allis dealership back in the early 1990's. It worked slick. I do like to tinker on things and would like to maybe get back into fixing tractors for myself. Not for hire. I have inner weights to put on my 7050 along with extended 7060 axles and I have a project 7050 I'd like to tackle maybe next winter and also a 1967 190XT on the list. For me that's years worth of work and at $100 an hour or more at the local dealers I'd rather do it myself at my leisure. My skid loader would never lift that kind of weight so I thought I could build one. I wish I had taken measurements of the one the Allis dealer used back then. It was a solid and reliable tool. Light brown or tan in color as were most of their splitting stands. Can't remember what brand but I'm pretty sure it wasn't OTC. Yes, if handled wrong you might have to be buying me flowers wilst I worked on pushing up daisies. Anyhow, that is my plan, to build one. Buying one gets you into the $3,000 plus range if you want a good reliable one. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |
