I also have a 60" mower deck so that's good info. Many thanks to you and the others for the help.

My older Ford 1750 had slightly offset front rims which I flipped outwards.
The rear rims were a two-part rim. So, I flipped all the pieces so it was as far out as it would go.

It widened the tractor a bit, and feels more comfortable on the hill.

The front axle has a free pivot, so all the stability comes from the rear wheels. For hauling stuff with the bucket, I've added stops for the front axle pivot. It helps a lot. But, it impacts traction and is inconvenient when not hauling or suspending heavy loads with the bucket.
