So I went to look at the '59 630 I mentioned in another thread, and liked it so much that I decided to buy it. It seems to be a good running tractor that's been well maintained.
My current issue is that the wheels are adjusted out as wide as they can go, meaning it is too wide to fit on my trailer. I need to move both sides in several inches, so the tractor can fit between the trailer's wheel wells.
The tractor is 110 miles away, so I want to make sure I take every tool I could possibly need to complete the adjustment. I watched a couple videos, on youtube, which makes it sound like I could run into problems. The previous owner states that he has not moved the wheels in the 16 years that he has owned it.
I also wondered what the best option is to secure the tractor to the trailer. I have two heavy chains and ratcheting binders, as well as about a dozen 10k lb ratchet straps. I don't want to break anything by attaching the chains at the wrong place and causing expensive damage.
Thanks!
