Chains hitting 3PH arms. Need advice on spacers

[countrybumpkin]

I may be dense... But... If putting on an implement fixes the problem; why not just pull the adjustment pins on the stabilizer bars (that you have zip tied down) and bungee the lift arms together?

I was thinking the same thing, a better pic of the over all rear of the tractor might help us a bit better to understand.

I was looking at a set of 2" spacers from Bro-Tek

With the wheel switch I think it is already set that way as looking at it it looks like doing the swap would bring the wheels closer in

I think you should have two-piece wheels on the rears that can be assembled in 4 different widths on each side, depending on how you flip the inner and outer sections. I also have an Lxx10 model, and the wheel setup on mine allows more room for chains, as shown in the first pic. The second pic is the clearest one I could find showing how the rims are actually configured. Hope this helps.

Glad you and your tractor survived the slide. Maybe it's a good time for you to buy a lottery ticket.

And thanks for your service!

Its weird how my 3ph arms stick out to the side more than most

can you provide a better pic of the rear over all, hard to tell but almost looks like maybe the arms are on the wrong sides. Looks like they could possibly need flipped over and switched to opposite sides.

This is what Grandad4 is talking about, don't know if your wheels are like this.

Did you check your operator manual?

I don't have this model tractor, but I have a casen885 with the adjustable centers. If flipping 180 degrees and swapping sides do not gain space, and you have the centers that are bolted to the hub and wheel, then you will need to measure what gives you best stance and still fits on a trailer. Mine were adjusted to almost 10 feet, had to flip and switch to bring it to where it would fit back on the trailer.

Looks like you can move the lift arms in where the attach to the tractor. Bolt them on the other drop leg. At worst, you redrill..

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Here are some pictures. Looking at the wheels it looks like they are already set to their widest setting correct?
