Help! setup with Cat1/Cat2 tire rub

[scratchpad]

When i hook up to my neighbors Cat2 set up disc my tires will rub the sway bars and lower links when the disc sways slightly to one side or the other. The sway bars cant be adjusted any tighter and ive tried everything i can think of, short of flipping the wheels, to eliminate this. Am i missing something? Can my wheels be flopped for more width to allow for Cat2 implements?

Hard to tell from the pictures, but the bottom links look awfully wide on that disc. The standard widths for Cat I and II are 26 and 32 inches, I believe.

Many 3 point attachments have a single-point draw pin like this:

CountyLine Draw Pin, Cat 1 to 2, S24TSC at Tractor Supply Co.

That's not as strong as the configuration on your disc, but you could put something like that on the inside holes of your disc to give you clearance.

Looks like you can gain a few inches with the tires flipped and rims adjusted to their widest stance. Check you manual it will tell you how. Do the front also.

I can't determine from photo if lower draft pin has a pipe spacer uninstalled. If it doesn't install a pipe spacer that will move draft link to narrower position on the pin which should give more clearance between draft links & tires.

Looking at your pictures of the wheels,
yes you can flip them.
If you take them off and move them to the other side the valve stems will be on the inside.
Thats not a big deal either.
I wouldnt bother with the fronts, I didn't.

The best solution is to buy your own disk that fits your tractor instead of borrowing your neighbor's.

yea its standard Cat 2 disc. some discs come setup with a dual setup like you mention but since its my neighbors i cant modify it.

No there isnt a spacer. That would have worked though. Adjusting the top link did have an effect on the lower links moving to the most inward position, however, the rear of the disc was about 4 inches lower than the front.
