- Branson 8050, IH 574, Oliver 1550 Diesel Utility (traded in on Branson) NH 8160. Kioti CK2620SECH
Using the IH 574 with the forks to remove and reinstall the wheel weights, 300# each.
Removed the rear rims and centers to swap around and increase the inner fender clearance from about 2 1/2" to 4 1/2" my inner chain fastener would just tick once in awhile when running about 15 mph, been needing to do this for a few years finally done.

Removing the wheel weights all 1200# then reinstalling them at the end.

Front wheels chocked, pulled both rear wheels off, removed the center sections from the rims to swap the centers from inside the rim to the outside and swap the rims from side to side, torqued all the bolts holding the outer section to the inner and the lug nuts and studs to 250 pound feet. Increased the inner fender clearance from about 2 1/2 to about 4 1/2 inches.
This does put my valve stems on the inside of the wheels.
I think the hardest part was putting the wheel weights back on, till I did this I didn't even realize I hadn't taken a picture off the completed job.
Was getting tired by the time I finished and picked up tools.
One nice feature Branson did on this tractor is each rear wheel has two studs and six lug bolts, those two studs make lining up the rear wheels much easier then all lugs or all studs would be.
