Update on my 1930's Ford Doodlebug tractor!

Nice looking machine.  I used to have one similar to it.  If I remember right one of the back wheels on mine I ended up replacing with a non split rim from a 40's Ford F-4 or 5 and those were Budd wheels too.  And they looked almost identical to the old ones

the old winnebago motor homes on Dodge chassis used the same 5 lug bud wheels, IIRC they were also used on some of the older military rolling stock

I think I will start looking for a set of dual wheels from a old Ford or something similar. The right rear tire is junk

but still holds air. It wouldn't last long if it was a running unit, especially at top speed around 45 mph! Any body know of a set of duals for this with descent old school tires? Thanks...

Nice those are cool little tractors. Saw this one at a tractor show over the summer and thought you'd like it.post-14074-141946499291_thumb.jpg

Plenty of attatchments to put them to work. Currently looking for an RJ35, if you know where I can find one let me know.
