sway chain attachmen question with pics..

[normde2001]

I have tried tightening the chains as much as possible and they still rub on the tires. I have no problem with flipping the tires. I think the tractor came this way for shipping reasons (Maximize number of tractor per shipping container). Do you think flipping the tires will work?

Did you notice that the tighter you got the chains the closer your lower arms got to your tires? Actually, they remove the wheels entirely before loading into the container. These Yanmars were built narrow so they would fit into the bed of a Japanese pick-up truck.

Flipping the tires solved the problem. Now I have at least an extra 6 inches of travel on each side. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!
