Ok this is a question from a childhood memory. The farmer across the way had a tractor with adjustable rears that you could widen or narrow by releasing the hub and either pulling forward or backing up. Can anyone tell me what make etc this would have been? I thought it was an Oliver but I really can;t remember! :?

I think several makes had them. My Allis WD has got them.

My ford has power adjust rims. They have 4 plates with grooves welded in the rim. The center hub works like a screw inside them.

I was thinking that AC was first with spin out wheels but not 100% sure. I've had WD , WD45 and a Int. 350 utility with those type wheels.....mike

Allis used them on the CA WD WD-45 even up to the 190 series
Versitile and ford used them too.

Thanks guys Now I remember it was an ACWD45 the guy had. Sure was a loteasier than the Farmalls

PAVT. wheels, or Power Adjustable Variable Track wheels, they are known as over here. They were always an "Optional Extra" on new tractors, and could have been ordered on almost any make. I have them fitted to my Fiat, they have heavy Cast Centres,but I never use them to adjust the track width.
I think they were fitted as standard to the MF,178 and maybe the 188.They do seem to have been used a lot earlier on your side of the water.

Here's what the tracks on the Ford Power Adjust rims look like. There are 4 sections like this.
You can see the center hub as well.

I have seen many 450 and 460/560 Farmalls with power adjust wheels....James

Your system seems to work like a nut screwing onto a bolt, which is different to ours, will take a pic as soon as poss. and show how mine work

Here's the old rim. We cut the tracks out and welded them in a new rim (pictured above)

Would be interested in seeing what you have.

That's interesting Ron. I don't recall seeing them before. Guess I'm gonna have to pay closer attention.

When we get moved and Gary comes out here, you'll have to tag along and check them out

Thanks. Now I know to watch those old fords. All the Fords at the auction today didn't have anything like that.

Love that style spinout. To me simply the best style ever made.

People around here just call them "spin out" rims.. Not sure thats the correct name, just what I've heard.
