.........and they are kind of related.
I have a Yanmar 1500D and the distance from side to side at the rear tires is 42". I have a 4' blade but have decided that I really need a box blade. I will probably reverse the rear wheels to make it wider at the rear. Should I get a 4' box blade or will my little Yanny handle a 5' box blade?
Second question. Has anyone ever thought of installing studs in place of the lug bolts for the rear wheels and using a rear weight as a spacer to move the wheels out instead of reversing them? Seems to me that would kill two birds with one stone and the air valve for the wheel would still face out.
Any thoughts before I ask my brother to fire up his lathe and turn me out a set of spacer/weights?
