[AJD] A2275R Front Wheel Spacers

[Duane Larson]

Chris,
The AA2106R (c/n A2275R) were introduced in August 1939 to address a problem 
in areas where listed crops were grown, as it was hard to keep the front 
wheels on the listed row.  They set the front wheels out 2", and increased 
the wheel spacing for a B: 7" to 11", A:7 1/2" to 11 1/2", and G:8 1/2" to 
12 1/2".  The proper solution was to develop front wheels which were offset 
(called "reversible"), and that happened 11/12/43 for the B (15" wheels) and 
4/7/44 for the A/G (16" wheels).  Of course, new hubs were then also needed. 
So, the spacers are not too common as they were sold primarily in listed 
crop country for four years.
