[AJD] stressed axles

[kreig]

I removed, cleaned up, painted, restored, all parts for the wheels on the 530.   When I reassembled the wheels I installed the wheel hubs and rims in the widest possible setting.  Sure makes access around the tractor much easier but sure makes for a wide tractor.    I wonder about the stresses involved on the axles.  The ride sure is a lot softer and there is more bounce when wheeling down the road.  Seems to me that wheels set in the widest position would greatly increase the stresses on axles and an increase in possible axle breakage.  I certainly would not want to be pulling really high loads, seems like the axle would want to "wind up"  so to speak.

Any experiences out there?
