OK here it is. The TC55DA with 759C backhoe. I widened the tires out 2 inches each and here are some photo's.
The tractor
The view before widening
The view after widening
The wheel before and you can see the 2 inch spacer is visible and you cant tighten the nuts on the center plate this way.
The wheel after and you can tighten the center plate nuts now and can check them in future easily and it hides the 2 inch spacer for a cleaner look.
The rim before
The rim after
The tire gap before with no room for chains and can hardly open 3 pt. hitch arms without hitting tires.
The tire gap after which allows for chains and more room for 3pt hitch.
This is front view after widening showing the center of wheels now line up center to center.
This is what it would look like if you just swapped sides without changing center plate. I think this is position G or the 6th widest out of 7. It can go 2 more inches on each side. that would be a stable beast!! I just sat rims in place for picture purposes.
I set mine to setting C. You cant use A with R4 tires because it hits and B is the factory setting and I went with C which gives it 2 more inches on each side and a cleaner look and more room and more stable. Only thing bad is that Im like 6' 4" and if using 6 foot implements you may want to keep in narrow depending on what your doing.
