Nice clean machine. I'm going to respectfully suggest though, that you installed the rear wheels at too narrow a setting. There are usually four width options, depending upon rim direction and spoke direction.

their at the third widest position, to go any wider i would have to turn the center spokes around.
i was going to set them all at the the widest position, but my dad was supervising and his kentucky-itis kicked in( just watch the clooney charactor in brother where art thou, and you'll meet every member of my family, including me /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) he wanted them set that way to protect the hubs, so i went with the flow to keep the peace
thanks for the compliment and the advise

What part of Ky do you reside in? I'm from Ky myself. Just bought a KAMA ts354c from Chip in Ar. Won't get the tractor for a month or so. Am anxious to see what I bought. I looked at several Jinmas in person, but have yet to see a KAMA up close.

Maybe it's the angle, but it sure doesn't look that way in yours. I wish I still had some shots of my two JM254s, the rears were MUCH wider than what I see in your photos. If I had to guess, I'd have said they're at the 1st or 2nd narrowest width. The four width selections depend upon both the rims AND the spokes. Obviously the spokes are mounted concave for wide and convex for narrow. But note the offset where they're bolted to the rims. That's your other wide/narrow option; total four.

it does look narrow in the pictures , i promise i checked and rechecked. if i switched sides with the rims it would be narrower, but i may turn the spokes around. maybe it is the angles of the photos. looking at the tractor the rears are wider than the fronts , but in the pictures it looks like the fronts are wider than the rears,
in this pic you can see how close the spoke is to the edge of the rim, plus shipping damage to the return port
