Want to haul my Dad's WD from Illinois to Arkansas, but can only haul a lighter trailer that is 77 inches inside the rails. My brother-in-law who has the tractor says that the rear wheels look like (did not measure exactly) about 8 feet from outside to outside. Question will a WD fit inside a 77 in. trailer:

A couple of questions;;;;The trailer,,,does it have tandem axels with brakes? The capacity of the trailer?? and finally, what type of tow vehicle???? Anouther option would be to check the hauling schedule on this site..someone may be able to deliver that tractor for less than you could do it yourself??? it is worth checking out.. BDT

Like old says- pain to adjust, but here is how to do it: One rail on each wheel will have holes drilled in it, should have one or two 'wheel locks' in those holes. Remove them- 3/4 inch wrench. Use a six-point socket if you do not have the AC wheel wrench. Without the AC wrench, bring a 10-12 inch extension. To loosen the eccentrics that hold the wheel on the rail- start at the top, unscrew that one until it stops, work your way down around the wheel. Hold the brake pedal on the OPPOSITE rear wheel, shift into first or reverse, let the clutch out, and the wheel will move to the inside. Tighten eccentrics, starting at the bottom of the wheel.

Thanks for all the good tips fellows. Special thanks to JMS/MN for mechanical instructions on how to adj. the wheels. I would have never figured out how that procedure worked.

Should also mention that the eccentric bolt moves only about 3/4 of a turn. The bolts are conventional right-hand thread.

first make sure that the trailer is heavey enough to haul the wd. mine with fluid in rear tires weighs just over 4500 lbs. also the trailer should be equiped with brakes.

Set to the narrowest setting, center to center width should be only 56". The widest setting is 90" center to center. This is according to the "Operating Instruction Manual" that came with my WD.

Thanks Bryan, I assume that all the WD's have adjustable wheel widths. Haven't seen the tractor in years, so was not sure of some had fixed wheels or not.

Illinois law now requires ( it did not in the past )that anything transported on a trailer that weighs 5000 lbs. or greater must be secured at 4 seperate points. That means on the tractor at one point to a point on the trailer continuing for at least 4 times. The old practice of a clevis in the drawbar with a chain ran through it and one rapped around the front end and fastened to each side of the trailer is no longer acceptable. Four seperate points on the tractor to 4 on the trailer is now the law. It makes sence and is protection for you and those traveling the highways with you. Now all you have to do is determine if the tractor weighs 5000 lbs. or more. If in doubt or close to 5000 lbs. or even for a greater degree of safety for you and protection of the tractor I would use at least 4 tie down straps or chains. Have a safe trip. OH!,by the way I understand that they check this quit often. I've been told that the minimun fine is at least $75.00

WD should have power adjust wheels on it if they are still stock. They can be a pain to adjust if they haven't been moved in years but it can be done

Power Adjust Wheels... Does this mean that you should have them on the tractor before you adjust them?
I recently took both my rear wheels off to patch a tube. Sheesh! I broke two bolts that have a square head on back. Now I have to find these. I couldn"t get the cam bolts loose enough to pull it out (hasn"t been used in about 20 years or so).

Any help that anyone can give would be MUCH appreciated!

Yep the easy way to adjust them is on the tractor since thats how they are made to work. You loosen the lock and then drive it around and they go in or out depending on whcih way you drive. Or at least thats how I understand how they work. I have never adjusted them before I just know the theory of how they work
