One of the most frequent questions I have got since buying my Farmall 350 is how wide the front wheels are spaced - it was that way when I bought it. I had a flat tire on the front and with that fix, I decided to move the front wheels inward.
Basically what I did was take the otherwise dished out wheels and move them from one side of the tractor to the other such that they are now dished in. Previously the center to center spacing was 16.75 per the manual and they are now set at 11.5 inches. If I move the rims to the inside of the hub disc, I can bring the wheels to 8.5 inches center to center. I was in a hurry and that setting looked like more effort than I had time for today, so I just dished the wheels in.
As I have them now, inside sidewall to sidewall is about 5 inches of space between.
Question is - how close are your narrow front tractors front wheels inside sidewall to sidewall? Would you advise I move mine to the minimum setting?
I have read that some like space between the front wheels to prevent mud, manure and all things that would otherwise plug the two wheels and cause them to slide vs roll to pass through. Perhaps what I have may be a good compromise between fully spaced out and fully spaced in? I think I like the look at the narrowest setting - not sure it is really necessary.
How are your front wheels set on your narrow front tractor?
Thanks! Bill
ps - the oil spot in the pic of the widest spacing was at the sellers place. This Farmall does not leak that much oil - LOL!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
