[AJD] A2275R Front Wheel Spacers

[greg at theoldtractorcompany.com]

Chris
As you alluded to earlier, I use my pair of A2275R to help hold one of the shelves 
down in the warehouse. So far they are doing an excellent job but have no idea what 
else I would use them for.

I had thought they were for what Duane spoke to, listed crops

>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.
