Carlton: I guess I didn't communicate very clearly. Definately the wider you set the rear wheels the more you increase stability, same with a wide front. All you will gain by putting narrow front wheels on so they are further apart, is make it hard to steer.

These Farmall can be set close to 100" centers on the rear wheels and the wide front. On 100" centers they will climb a mountain, but with them that wide they are not very manuverable, wont go through a lot of gates and doors. My point was I would never run one set less than 72". That is not a lot different from what you have at 70" or what Dr. Evil is telling you. As I recall, my 300, 560 and 656 all on 72" centers, the wheels were clamped on much the same as the good Dr. is saying.

These tractors will in fact go as narrow as 56" maybe a bit less. Set one that narrow, and your an accident looking for a place to happen.
