Ok an update! Good news is I don't have to go by the steer yard, bad news is I don't have to go by the steel yard. hehe but I'm going anyway. 
I looked at the fronts and I do have some offset. So I flipped them and I'm save on my ramps I believe. Know for sure this afternoon but any width gained is a plus. The rims on my tracror are different, one bought used from Kentucky tractor and the other new. The old one was in new condition but was the old orange, also has a place to bolt on weights it looks like. One looks like a deeper offset but when measuring they were both 3" from the flange to the rim. Bummer I didn't think to measure the offset of the inside to see exactly what I gained. I'll have to remember to do that later. It does look like one wheel is offset a little more than the other.
So some after pics for your review. Maybe I'll get a couple shots of the loading process.
Thanks for the suggestions and the fixes! Looks like I need to paint that old orange wheel...on the outside now.

Good job Rob, hope that works out for you.
Hey, I notcied in the last pic your arc welder is on a pretty neat little cart. Where did you get that? Do you have any more photos of that cart?
Mine is on a crummy dolly held on with tie straps.

Thought I had a better pic, can't find. It's actually an old...old filing cart I got from the office. It had a baskit in the top and bottom. I took those out and gave to the guys at the weekend place, they'll make nifty ATV baskets. I just added some ply for the base. Everything fits pretty nice.
Here is the front part. I just upgraded my 80 O2 to a 125. I took the 80 and B tank to the weekend place.

Great pic, thanks.
I'll have to start looking for one something like that. It's got to be pretty handy to have everything right there. Looks like OA, mig and arc, a complete arsenal all ready for any metal mending assignment.
