Yes, I hadn't included the wartime 'Tractors' in my post .... just the Trucks.

Wink Dual Wheels

My F60S Tipper Link to Keith's Page is fitted with dual wheels.
The front wheels are standard fare, retro-fitted when one of the offset wheels was damaged by a tree stump. But that's not the interesting part of my post.
The truck was used for taking the cereal harvest to the receivals. The problem with the duals was that the outside tyres actually straddled the weighbridge, and therefore gave inaccurate weight measurements.
This was solved by the fitment of duals with a different offset. The photo attached shows one wheel fitted with one of each.
SO I am guessing that the military supplied wheels had a greater offset than the civilian items?
