Charbs152 254 #1 Posted May 10, 2023 It seems as though my c175 turns sharper than my 312-8. I haven’t measured but that’s how it feels when driving it. Does anyone have any info about that? I thought they had the same front ends minus the front tire size thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,327 #2 Posted May 10, 2023 IF they have the same front axle AND the same wheelbase, then they SHOULD turn the same...MAYBE tire size might contribute to a difference.....Is the track on the rear ( the width of the outer edges of the tires the same)??

Lee1977 6,663 #3 Posted May 11, 2023 Have you tried both directions, there have been some Wheel Horses that the triangle on the steering shaft was welded off center. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always figured they were set up to turn left because of Wheel Horse's association with the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR sponsorship.

I believe that's squonk stories. I do know that the cemetery in Concord, bought short frame Wheel Horses as long as they could get them because they turned shorter then any other makes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,136 #9 Posted May 11, 2023 Short framers turn nice and short. They also came with RD decks so it they didn't need one radius shorter than the other. Every long frame tractor I ever had, (about 12) + a 210-H lawn tractor, have turned tighter to the left. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
