I guess I am really dumb. The manual that came with my 7510 has some really cryptic info about how wide I can set the rear wheels. The diagrams and text seem to be talking about something on another planet, or perhaps the measurements are in hectacres or something. The tractor came with the wheels set at 48" wide to match the FEL, but the book says they only slide to 39". The axle holes, however seem to allow several more inches of adjustment. 1) anybody know the actual Max for farm tires? 2) is there a special trick to sliding the wheels in or out, once the cotter and the pin are loosened, or just brute force? The tires are loaded with water/calcium, so a little heavy to handle.

Typically the rims will be designed such that the hub does not sit on the centreline of the tire, thus swapping tires side-to-side changes the overall width.

On uneven terrain, or for more stability using the FEL it desirable to keep the wheels as wide as possible.

Best of luck. ....
