[Farmall] Moving Rear Wheels on "H"

[Ed Greany]

I moved my wheels in to get it to fit on a trailer when I bought it. I left them that way for about 3 years. Then, I decided I needed new rubber. I didn't remove the wheels but simply removed the rims to have new tires installed. EZ job.
 
When I replaced the rims on the wheels, I thought it was about time I worked them out farther for better stability. I already broke one arm tipping over my Kubota and don't want to repeat it with the "H". Loosen the 4 large bolts then just wiggle the wheel back and forth from top to bottom. Make sure you have the tractor jacked up and safe because wiggling the tires back and forth WILL shake it quite a bit and if not careful could cause it to come off the jackstands or jack. A little patience and the wheels come out nicely and easily. Re-tighten the 4 bolts and you're all set.

Can't give you much advise on moving the wheels in, but don't count on 
the rims having been off the tractor to put the new tires on.  I had new 
rear put on my Super C a couple years ago.  They just jacked the tractor 
up and removed the tires with the rims in place on the tractor.
