Hey Mike - super looking rig you've got there! Have a question - was looking at a set of older duals the other day and they had really heavy cast spacers between the wheels. Couldn't find any markings (didn't look too hard) and curious about those on your 982. Any ideas? Thanks and best wishes with your project!

 

[mmasheris]

The duals are reproduction DMI duals no center the ring is welded to the lip of the outside rim held in with draw rods just like the big tractors.

Mike - thanks for the info and great looking setup! I'm really at a loss on the ones here but just maybe I can figure it out. Guy's asking $100 for them (no wheels or tires) and maybe worth it just for the extra weight. They're really heavy. Thanks again.
