I am wanting to shorten the rear axles on my 1066. At present, they protrude 16 inches outside of the outside edge of rear tires. It does have what I assume to be factory duals with the axle clamp for the duals and the dual wheels bolt to this hub in the center. I want to take off 10 inches of the axle on each side which would leave the duals hub in the same place it is at present. I cannot think of an easier way to do this than with a cutting torch. What I want to know is if I am going to cause any problems doing this. The reason I am wanting to do it is my barn door is 12 ft wide and at present with the duals on, the O.D. on the duals is 11 feet 10 inches. Also my barn is somewhat small and do want to gain the space when parking in corner. I intend to take the duals off in a week or two and probably will not put them on again but want to always keep that option open for the future if I would need them. All opinions are welcome!!!
