In Reply to: 55 lug Budd dual wheels 9:00x16x6.50 posted by Jackson Reimund on Tuesday, May 18, 2004 at 2:08PM :
These are the steel Budd 900x16 5 lug wheels that fit the Power Wagon and M-37 bolt pattern. The centers are set two inches further out and are otherwise exactly the same as the stock wheel. These will only fit on the outside of the stock wheel as the brake backing plate is to large to allow them to be used on the inside. To mount them you will need the standard Budd dual lug nut set. Inner and outer nuts as seen in photo #1 on top of the level. The stock wheel studs are ok as is.
These wheels were used on military heavy duty trailers in the 3 and 1/2 to 7 ton range. I DO NOT recommend that they be used on the front axle except in the most extreme of circumstances. If you just got to try it go ahead but you won’t do it again.
I have these wheels available in good take off condition. $150 a set of two. I do not have extra Budd dual nuts but they are fairly common and available as they were used from the 20’s or 30’s up through the 60’s or 70’s on all 1 and 1/2 ton to 3 ton civilian trucks with dual Budd wheels.
Save these photos and text for your reference material.
