Anybody know the correct way to install the rear wheels on a '52 A? I've seen pics where the hubs were installed with the collar on the outside and some with it on the inside. Which way is the right way, or what is the advantage of one way over the other?

Thanks guys.

P.S. to last post,we always put wax paper on hub before puting on the coller so it would come off easyer next time.

We used to run with the coller out so would be easyer to change the Tread width. Also with the concave side of the rim faceing out most of the time for wider track for operateing on side hills.
Also with the wheels on that way you wouldn't catch the axle on buildings and fence wire when working up close to anything.

Hey...

In corn picker country the wheels with the hubs toward the tractor usually meant there had been a 227 on the A at one time... Works good to have them out for loader duty too!

My JD-H came to me with the hubs on the inside. I switched them to the outside during the restoration after going through the pain of trying to get them off. I thought it would be easier to remove stuck hubs from the outside.

I also think it looks better (personal choice).

The wheels can be installed any which way you want. Install them with the dish out to get a wider setting and dish in to get a narrow setting.

"A" Tractors were shipped with the hubs out so the wheels would be in the narrower position. Putting the hubs inside gives more adjustment of wheel width. Either position is correct, depending on you current need for wheel width. I have a problem with mine in that the hubs are attached to the wrong side of the wheel. Hubs should be attached to the convex side of the wheel. Mine are reversed and I haven't had the energy to change them over yet.
