One of the next items of business for me in order to get my old 841 farm-ready is to purchase new tires. On the surface, it looks like my rims are in pretty decent shape (gonna give them a good once-over before I decide if I need new ones). But I am wondering about what width to set the rear wheels.
Right now, they are set almost as far inside as they can go (the hubs are turned inward, the lug holes on the rims are on the outside of the hubs, and the rims are turned so that the lug holes are close to the outside of the rim). If I were home, I could snap a picture and show you guys. The only setting that's more narrow than what I have right now is to put the lug holes to the inside of the hubs.
I am wanting to widen the tractor out a bit, since the land around here is steep in many places. With what increments do the tires widen? On Dad's John Deere (2550), it's 4-inch increments. It looks like my 841 has 3-inch increments, maybe?
How wide do you guys that are on the steeper ground run?
I also have to take apart the front end to rebuild the axle pin and bushing, so I can widen out the front if needs be while I'm there.
