seems like it could put a lot of stress on the end of the axles....I would not do it to mine....but that's me

Sweet, just remember to inflate the inners to a higher pressure than the outers, and you'll extend the life of your bearings. I'm usin' a 4 psi delta, and haven't any trouble now for 250 hours. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Looks good /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hows the steering on that beast?

I like the exhaust, is it quieter or effect the performance w/two mufflers? -or- did you remove the OEM muffler?

Love it for added stability on hills!

Right after I put duals on my Gravely, its right axle seal started to leak. Also had put steering brakes on it. In doing this, it disturbed the seal because you can just pull the axles out without the brake backer plate bolted in place. So, don't know whether it was from disturbing the seal or from extra stress via the dual wheels. Gravelys were designed to take dual wheels though.

Duals add TWICE the traction, plus give more side-to-side stability.

Looks good! I can't wait to see some action shots!

Took one side apart today and got pictures so maybe it will show how simple it was.
The wheel bolts are 9/16X18 TP so I had to put studs in the hubs first thing.

I replaced with these and used Locktite.

Here's all the parts, I found the nuts and all thread at McMaster-Carr, and shipping is really reasonable and fast. I had to make the spacer ring and rivet it together. If you look really close, you can see that the lip on the wheels are different diameter. The one on the left is the original wheel and it is smaller diameter than the new wheel on the right so I had to add the blocks on the spacer ring to make it fit the larger diameter of the new wheel.

All the parts that hold the wheels together.

The ring in the original wheel.
