Danedg 20 #952 Posted July 28, 2018 Today I was wondering about how to widen the rear wheel base to alleviate her nervousness about tippynes. Are there spacers or dually kits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are there spacers or dually kits? What model are talking about. It would take a steep hill to roll a WH sideways and it would be pretty obvious you shouldn't be there. also the engines have designed limits for tilting (oil starvation) that are less than potential roll over. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 17,739 #956 Posted July 29, 2018 You could go to wider rear tires 23 10.50 12 (I assume you have 8.50s on there now). Going to duals would be expensive and put a lot of stress on the 1" axles i believe you have. And make mowing around things awkward as the tires stick out way beyond the deck Dual adapters show up on ebay from time to time. If you have a 36" deck you could do up to a 42" With the deck sticking out beyond the wheels roll over would be difficult to achieve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Work very well and are easy on, easy off. No or very little air pressure in the outside tires! Mowing up and down the hill instead of sideways is better if possible. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dual-Wheel-Kit-for-Lawn-Garden-Tractor-Tires-John-Deere-Cub-Cadet-Wheelhorse/350099069962?hash=item518387dc0a:g:VhAAAOSwEehbMOxr 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,361 #959 Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) been trying since last week end to get the brake drum off so I can change the oil seal The hub came off without any issues. I've tried pb blaster, heat, wax, oil, carb cleaner. BFHs, crowbars, pullers, impact wrench and even a grinder to be sure the end of the shaft hasn't mushroomed. I haven't given up yet, but, it may come down to cutting the thing off. I've moved it in and out on the shaft from the snap clip to the end of the shaft a couple of times but it just won't go any further than that Edited August 2, 2018 by rjg854 More 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,130 #963 Posted August 5, 2018 Mowed the back yard... with the new REO skiff this afternoon. Not a bad cut, considering it rained all night, and today until noon. Then snatched up the high rise tub cart, just because it was there. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyToro 1,049 #965 Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Me and my little driver are fixing the Raider 12 that broke at the tractor pull. Broken woodruff key and buggered hub. 😞 The hub also cracked after trying to pull it off. I'll search the classifieds after this post for a hub.

rjg854 11,361 #967 Posted August 5, 2018 Well at least you still have all the lug holes. Unless the key way is messed up, you'll have a backup, or a hub to make a puller out of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dells68 7,498 #974 Posted August 7, 2018 I finally got the 8" front wheels on the 312. Maybe over the winter I can find tine to paint the 42" deck. Mowed with it tonight and it mows great. I still need to add a little toe in on the front since switching out the front. Here are a couple of before and after pics with the new wheels and deck. 4 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
