Took about an hour and a half. Took all 4 tires out to then widest possible position. Thanks for the help guys. Wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be. I've got about 6 inches between the inside of the rears and the inside of the fenders. Before it was 2 1/2 inches. Should be was more stable now. Here's some pics for ya'll.

We are all glad to help when we can. Now we can talk about loading those tires if they aren't already. And if that still isn't stable enough you can always add spacers.
Ok, one more question. This may be Kubota specific... Looking at the manual, it states "front treat can not be adjusted" am I going to hurt anything by what I did by switching the front tires around so the rims are set wider. It looks like they are in line now with the rears. It's a L3901

Hard to read sideways and I can't tell if it is a one size fits all manual or model specific. It might be that 2wd fronts are not adjustable and 4wd ones are. Why put adjustable rims on if you cant use them?.
Do you have a loader on? If not I wouldn't worry about it and set it as wide as possible. Mine with the loader on says not to go out to the widest position on the fronts and I have gone by that keeping the tires under the edges of the six foot bucket.

OK put the front back the way it was and then trade it for a more versatile tractor. :confused3:

My Ford manual says the same thing, but since I mow on a fairly good slope I wanted the widest track possible, so against their recommendations I swapped rims side to side. Been that way for about 14 years. With that said, I also don't use the bucket for lifting heavy loads, by that I mean trying to lift giant rocks or pull stumps, a semi full load of dirt is about it.
