I have a NH 3040 w/cab. These new tractors have plastic fenders that are real close to the rear tires. I have to put chains all the way around for the winter.
I was told that I can reverse the inner rear wheel and then reattach the outer wheel to extend the width of the rear tires. Is this possible or will I have issues with bearings and such?
This will allow the chains to have more clearance. I do realize that I have to make sure the chains are always tight and I will be doing that with turnbuckles instead of the normal bungee cords. Something I learned from my uncle that worked for a city plowing snow in Alaska.
Any comments on this?
