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!
