Wheelbase for a '73 Tru-Test mower

This is my first post. I have been a lurker for a long time. I have been restoring garden tractors for several years but am getting into lawnmower racing as well now. I am building a 1973 True Value Tru-Test mower for racing but it is missing the rearend. That's not a problem because I was not planning on using the stock rear anyway but the rules do say that the whellbase has to be a minimum of 39" unaltered. Since the tractor was missing the rear I don't know what the wheelbase was. Worst case is that I will just measure to between the two holes on the frame and say that's where the center of the axle was but it would be nice to know for sure.

If anybody out there has one of these tractors could you please measure the wheelbase for me. I would really love to breathe new life into this tractor as it is to far gone to restore.

Thanks,
Carl
 
Generally,rear axles mounted either through a bearing retainer plate,or with a pair of vertical bolts through frame on each side.Should be able to determine location from holes present.Thinkin those old TTs were built by Wheeler,but could be wrong.
