MJ, Don't sweat the wheels! Just jack the tractor up just enough hold the weight of the tractor, then remove the bolts-then just roll the wheel away. There is no need to lift the wheel using this method. Once the wheel is off, continue to jack the tractor up to the needed height and put a jack stand under it.

Good idea Kenny. I'll admit I have a nasty tendency to over complicate things. Plus not building a jack adapter will save me money for other things I'd rather build. I need to look the instructions over more carefully and see if I really need to remove the wheel per the directions. I can see the need to remove the fender, and I suspect the wheel needs to come off to get the fender off.

Thanks again for for a fresh perspective.

While I think you "could" do the job with the wheel in place, it will be MUCH easier to get it out of the way. On my 4110, there was an access panel in the fender behind the wheel to get to the SCV...having the wheel in place would have been self-induced torture! Just take it off and don't worry about it

Kenny:

Any thoughts on what the rear wheel and tire of a 4200 weighs? I have R4's and the rear tire is about 36" in diameter. The tires are NOT filled and I do NOT have wheel weights either.
