1566Hog Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I have what may be a dumb question. Please don’t beat me up too bad if it is!! 😀 I put new rear rims and tires on my 706 and 1026. Upon cleaning the lugs up, I realized on each wheel, it seems like there is 2 lugs that are different from the rest. I found that on each wheel of each tractor. Is there supposed to be 2 different lugs than the rest? I figured maybe it’s possible someone broke 2 or lost 2, and needed to buy some different ones. But, for each wheel on both tractors to have that, has to be more than a coincidence. I can’t tell on the wheel where the different ones would go, and I can’t tell on the double bevel rims where the different ones would go. They look to be the same design, just a little shorter where the lug attaches to the wheel. They all went back together fine, minus the typical struggles with muscle power! Anyone else know anything about this? When I look on the parts page, there is 2 different lugs listed, but does not show the difference, or where they go, or the quantity there is supposed to be.

axial_al Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 These two odd lugs are used to align the wheel to the wheel hub. The procedure is best explained in an operators manual rather than me trying to write it all out here. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Don’t they just go at 90 degrees, Same as the ones that go on the rim cogs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1566Hog Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Thanks for everyone’s input. Thanks for posting those pics. That explains it well. Looks like I will be redoing my work! 😀 I figured there had to be a reason for them. I’m sure I do not have them on the bumps of the bevel, and I saved those non adjustable ones for last, not first!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Oh you did both tractors, all four wheels at once. Now I get it. If a guy was just doing one wheel or one tractor when noticing the difference/learning about it, then he could stare at the other tractor still together and figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1566Hog Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Yea, I did them all at once. I know I’m going to feel it in the morning too. I’m already feeling sore. Getting older I guess. I only got to thinking about the issue afterwards, sitting down with a glass of tea, reflecting on how good I felt about getting them done today. Now, I don’t feel so good about it!!! If it would’ve given me trouble while I was doing it, I would’ve looked into it. Oh well. Live and learn strikes again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1566Hog Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Figured I’d post a picture I thought was interesting. The 1026 had 15.5-38’s on for pulling the potato harvester. Its potato digging days are over, so I opted to go with 18.4-38’s. Tire shop talked me into Michelin Agri- Bibs. Look at the height difference between the 18.4-38, and 15.5-38. No calcium in any tires, and no wheel weights. There is some tractor weight making the mounted 15.5’s squat just a touch, but I had no idea there was that much height difference. I was afraid I’d have to move the fenders, but I did not have to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acem Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 1026 with 2 pt fast hitch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1566Hog Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Just now, acem said: 1026 with 2 pt fast hitch? You bet! Every tractor on the farm (8 of them) had fast hitch, except for the 1256. I took a lot of harassment from my JD friends in my younger years about the fast hitch tractors. I don’t know, I kind of thought they were neat, and they worked well for the operation. Only pinned them up when hauling manure with the box spreaders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 15.5-38’s are sort of rare this days. I replaced a set on a ford last year, put the old ones on Craigslist and the phone started ringing immediately. Mine were worn out. Yours look really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I replaced a set on a ford last year, put the old ones on Craigslist and the phone started ringing immediately. Mine were worn out. Yours look really good. These tires were pretty good. One is about 95% tread, and 2 of them are 60%, and the other is about 50%. Unfortunately, all 4 rims were shot, and the tires were mismatched. These tires will probably be the last ones these tractors will ever have, so I coughed up the money for new ones. The tire shop said they have guys calling in asking for used 15.5’s, and they said they just laugh. Apparently they’re hard to come by. The one 60% tire and the 50% tire are both Firestone and same tread pattern, so that could be set for someone. I remember putting a set of 14.9-38 tires on my 560 because there wasn’t any 15.5’s around at the time. Maybe 14.9’s are getting odd too.

stronger800 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I’m not sure, I just know I listed my worn (but not weather checked or cracked) ones for $400 and they were gone Quick. If you have no reason to save them, I would take pictures of each of them and list them someplace for sale.?You never know what somebody might be looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found quite a few wrong when I get to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
