Wider wheelbase on L2800

[newbury]

I've an M4700. Running unloaded R1 14.9-28's. I need to narrow the stance so it will fit on the trailer better.



How difficult is it to swap tires with one old guy (me) and one 30 yr old guy (my son)? That's assuming I can loosen the bolts.

Looks like you could use a deck over trailer.

If you have a backhoe it is easy but if the tires are loaded they can be way heavier than they look. If you soak the bolts with penetrating oil and use a good fitting impact they come apart pretty easily. I would however recommend having new nuts and bolts on hand if you have to ruin the originals getting them off.

I have a L3700 (same frame as the 2800) and the wheels are one piece. Also what kind of backhoe did you get?

I got a Woods 650, it had set in a friends field for several years. I had to have all the cylinders rebuilt but today I played with it for about 6 hours digging up a few small trees and one really large stump. Worked like a champ so far. I think it needs a few more minor repairs but I plan on keeping it in the dry so should last me a long time. Price was right, FREEE.. other than what it has cost me in parts and repairs so far. I think I have about $500.00 bucks in it right now.
