tire spacing on TO 35

Just want to increase spacing a little to the front tires without extending the front axle. Would it simply be turning the front wheels around and switching them from left to right side to pick up a couple of inches. Im not even going to attempt the rear wheels because they are liquid filled and about 600 lbs or so.
 
I think the fronts might have 'stress' in the wrong part of the bearings if you abuse it dished out- the rears are designed to flop around the centers- to either side of the rim loops to the tract you want. There is a couple pages on this in the old owner's manuals. A couple guys or a chain fall keeping the tire stable does the trick as you spin the centers.
 
I have a 1957 TO35 that still runs and drives great,

Over the years as we cultivated corn and tobacco I open and closed the front axle many times,

It will be much less stressful on your front steering system to just open the axle one bolt hole on each side, your front axle stabilizers will adjust
out as designed to absorb the additional stress,

As others said, turning the wheels around would be my last option to gain additional front wheel spacing, lug nuts may not secure to the wheel
reversed, do not want a wheel coming loose,
 
are the lugs or wheels different on a 35 vs. a to-20? my dad reversed the wheels on a to-20 for years with no problem. just asking ???
 
I think I'll leave well enough alone. Its just that I hit a hole while brush hogging with the front tire for the first time and it scared the heck out of me. I cant extend the front axle because the previous owner welded the axle which I didn't notice when I first bought it. Guess I will get some help and use the chains mentioned and work with that for the rears. Thanks guys.
