When I bought my 1215 in 1999 I asked the dealer if I could "dish out" the front wheels to make the front end wider and more stable. He said "NO - that dishing out the front wheels would cause excessive wear on the front wheel bearings." This wasn't a problem when I lived on the flats but since my move to the hills I've often wanted a wider front end for stability. Does anyone have any experience to the contrary about the front wheel bearings wearing out w/ dished out wheels? The tractor is used mostly for loader and landscape work. The loader capacity is around 450#. Thanks in advance for your help.
