B owners - check your rear wheels

[LarJea]

The rear wheels on my B2601 were loose with less than 10 hours use and they are standard non/adjustable 16.5" wheels. I caught it when I installed 2 1/2" spacers on the rear. (By the way there is no clearance problem with a 54" mid mount mower). Also cutting width is just outsde the wheel track.

My dealer mentioned that using the bh with the rear wheels jacked off the ground causes the right wheel to loosen. Don't know if that is true or not.

I've read that you should never have your rear wheels completely off the off when running the back hoe. They claim it puts a lot of stress on the tractor.
