REAR WHEEL SPACER ON 2720

THOMASLEONARD · Dec 18, 2012

Anyone know where you can get rear wheel spacers for John deere 2720 , so when have tire chains on the chains do not rub three point arms ?

Do you have your rear tires mounted in the wide position? I have a 2720 with R4 tires in the wide position and even with heavy duty rear chains I have plenty of clearance on the 3PH arms. I also have chains on the front and I installed the front spacers that JD makes.

If your rear wheels are in the narrow position it will be a very tight fit for chains.

No I have them in the wide posistion. I also have independant lift for mover deck and the chains are way to close to the cable that sets lift height.

Ahh... yes, I have seen those. Unfortunately they designed those with basically no room to spare.

Not going to solve the mower deck issue, but what about moving the wings in slightly?

I know what you mean, I have the same set-up. The lift arms under the tractor for the MMM look like they will come off easy enough but I left them on my rig. They sway back and forth a bit so I figured they would be okay if the chain hit it occasionally. We have had only one snow so I may be changing my mind by spring but for now their hasn't been a problem.
