Wheel chains fit the 3 point arms.

I don't have a tractor, the picture is from rasorbackq, the OP (original poster). My advice was from looking at his picture and the first chart that I posted.

Here is my "tractor".

It is 6' wide, 6.5' high and 13' long. Tire size is 14x17.5. Top speed is 15.5 mph, drawbar pull is 7,000 pounds and it will lift over 5,000 pounds! :thumbsup:

Whoops. My bad. I didn't even notice who posted that. Thought it was the OP.:ashamed:

I'd love to have a "tractor" like yours. Those are oh so nice for land clearing/tree felling work, not to mention second story work on the house. I like any machine pretty much. Brand makes no real difference to me as long as it work correctly, but really useful ones like that are at the top of the heap IMO.

No mine will not fit through the scallops.

 

[rasorbackq]

Yes, I understand what you are saying, but I thought the loops would slide through the scallops in the center plate, That is what my instructions were based on.

No the loop holes are way to high to clear the scallops.

Guess it is poor planing when they made the center plate.

This is your picture from post #18 that made me think it would slide out from the center plate..

They didn't make it big enough.

Yea, that was exactly my situation as well.

Well dish has been moved to the other side of the loop . would not fit through the scalloped area so I removed the dish.
All went very well until the tire slid on the ice and I dropped the tire . Then I heard air leaking . Broke the valve stem off:thumbdown:
Now have to look around for that.
Seems to be a 2 part valve Top part is broken.

 

[rasorbackq]

I did gain just over 5" spacing between the tires.
Lots of room for the lift arms now

That's interesting. I haven't seen a valve stem like that before.

It looks like you have regular wheel lug bolts except for two, which are like a car or truck? That would make remounting a lot easier.:thumbsup:

 

[rasorbackq]

I like the studs to align . Makes it a lot faster.

What I was wondering is, if you did that or it came that way?

Re: Wheel chains hit the 3 point arms.

Good deal and thanks for the pictures, they will help someone in the future. :thumbsup:

It came that way. We have a VW Golf and it has none . Even with the small tires they are hard to line up. Cant imagine lining up a large tractor tire without them.

Thanks for the help and great suggestions
Finished width is 72 " Still have the flat tire though.
