I don't know if this is possible or not but can you invert the wheels on the back of the tractor to get a wider stance out of the rear end?

Picture of my Jubilee with the rear wheels swapped from side to side (to keep tread pattern correct).

It was routine to change the wheel spacing on our Fords for planting and cultivating 38-inch rows when we farmed with these tractors in the 50s and 60s. I think that the reversed wheel spacing was about 72-inch center to center. We put the left rear on the right and vice-versa. You could simply turn them around on the hub, and some of our neighbors did this because it was easier and possible to do with one little jack, but then you had the chevron traction bars reversed and they were not self cleaning when run backwards. Some neighbors also ran with the wider tread spacing when mowing and raking to keep the wheels off the cut hay, and the wide spacing is safer for mowing road ditches and steep hillsides. Mike-Iowa

Yep. The FNH amnual says that you can adjust the track width from 48" to 76". Part of that adjustment is inverting the center disk. Other width adjustments involve changing where on the rim the center disk is attached.

Not only can you turn the disks different directions, but since the mounting rim is offset that the disk mounts to, you can push the tire out even more by putting this rim on the inside.

Good luck,
Dan

according to the operators manual you can change the wheel disks from convex to concave and swap the wheels to get different tread widths. I have never done this myself.

Jon.
