Lots of good info on moving rear wheels on a Farmall H here. We always ran the rear wheels on Our
Farmalls "The RIGHT WAY", dished "Out", hub of wheel next to the axle carrier, wheel weights recessed
inside the wheel and rim. First thing Dad did when he traded the '39 H for the Stage 2 Super H was slide
the rear wheels in to the axle carrier and chop about 4 inches that extended beyond the tire off the
axle. Those chunks of 2-1/2" diameter steel bar fit right in 3 ft lengths of 2-1/2" pipe to make steel
post drivers, I still have mine!
Think that gives about a 66 or 68 inch tread spacing, wide enough to not be "tippy", narrow enough to
not waste space. The Letter series Farmalls and early 300 & 400's used deep well rims on the 6 spoke
cast wheels, they only give one tread width. Dad did modify the rims on the '39 H by welding six plates
to the inside of the rim offset so the tractor to bolt to the cast center, was only about 70 inches
outside to outside to fit down the narrow aisle of our hog finishing barn. Was close to 60 inch on center
since it had 10-38 rear tires. Did not seem tippy that narrow. Later 300 & 400 and all 350 & 450 had
double bevel rims on the 8-spoke cast wheels, there are four possible tread widths possible with those
wheels & rims. Good luck finding a set!

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
