Pressed steel on Super M

[PretendFarmer]

Hi.
I am looking to ditch my rear cast and go with pressed steel and hubs on my 1953 Farmall Super M.
Any pointers on a source for that? I slightly recall that pressed steel and 9 bolt hubs off another tractor fits but I dont remember what make/model that is from.

Thanks

Think Oliver hubs fit IH, #77 fits an H, 2-1/2" axle; Maybe the 88 hub fits M 2-3/4" axle.

There are dual wheel hubs and wheels from M&W and others like Peterson & Unverfurth that will fir an M &
Super M. Same 2-3/4" axle used on 400/450/560/ some 460 &350/656/666/H70/686/H86. IH made a 9-bolt hub
for 560 and newer tractors up to 686/H86 that used a 15x34 wheel made by Motor Wheel with 5 contact
points, worked with 16.9x34 or 1i.4x34. But any 9 bolt wheel mounted to the IH hub.

I got wheels and hubs from a guy from an Oliver 44 that fir my SMTA. I had to modify the key that holds the hub from turning on the axle though

too early in the morning, make that a Massey 44

Massey Harris 44 hubs work

Why all the work for less weight?

I have a set of wheels 18.4 x 34 and Hubs that I removed from my 656 Hydro that I replace with cast wheels. I'm located in southern MN.

In 5500 lbs class I have no movable weight. Also I see guys with M's that have pressed steel wheels they can narrow up the tractor more and fit on a low trailer. I want to sell my deck over and go with a lower trailer but right now theres no way my Super M will fit between fenders. So theres two reasons.

I appreciate the offer but thats quite a haul for me being in Connecticut.
