Tires 1910 rear turf tire chain dilemma ??

[Kevin M]

When i bought rear turf tire chains for my 755 john deere i paid around 300$ bucks, put them on, no problem. So when i saw a brand new set of peerless rear chains for my 1910 i jumped on them for a 150 bucks , I thought what a score! Now the bad part is they rub the fenders, I could move the fenders in slightly, or have some 8 lug spacers made ( looks like an 8 on 8 span ) ( there go's my bargin ) and no i cant flip the wheels there centered ! Any suggestions guys ?????

are you 100% sure that they are centered? My 1620 with turfs looked like they were centered but when I measured it there was about a 1" difference. Flipping the tires let me run the chains.

On the 1710 w/turfs that I had the chains had to be pretty tight, but not overly, to clear the fenders. Also ensure that your tires are not overinflated. Otherwise you'll have to go as the others have said.

The rear wheels on my 1910 are adjustable, you should be able to remove the center disk and move the wheels side to side for several width adjustments.

You don't need much. Here is my 1620 with the wheels flipped and the tire chains on. I made them tight by taking out a link or two, and but tensioners on the outside of the chains (outward facing part of the rim). It works as they don't flop around.
