Super A rear wheels

GregtheDC · Sep 19, 2011

I have had a Super A for about 2 months and while going over it to try to fix little things I discovered this evening the rear wheels are on the wrong sides. About $200 to switch the tires around so is there anything that will get hurt if I dont do this for awhile.
Thanks and I have learned so much from this site, Thanks to all who contribute

The cast center is supposed to be on the right. If on the left there is more chance of a rollover. I would change them.

Thanks, guess its not worth the chance.

If the wheels are on the wrong side do you mean the tread is backwards you move the wheels to the other side running the tread correct the centers are also made to dish out or in. Sounds like you need a manual so you can see how to move the rims and centers to get tread width what you want.

The Cast wheel is on the left and the pressed steel is on the right. If I swap them the tread will run backwards. Tire shop wants $100 per wheel to swap the tires. I have a manual and thats how I figured out they were wrong then the other gentleman confirmed it. Sometime in the past the owner had them mounted wrong. Guess I need to get that corrected, just realized it tonight when I was trying to put on the wheel weights. Thanks for the comments

Just swap the wheel disks, leave the rims and tires on the side they are on now.

I agree with what has been posted. No need to swap the tires around on the rims, just swap the rims. the wheel centers can be switched around and then just mount the tires on the sides that have the tread in the correct orientation.

The rims bolt to the centers, and the centers on to the axles. That is how different tread widths were achieved.

The tire man saw you coming...

All you have to do is remove four bolts and the tire/rim assembly comes off the wheel center!!!

No need to smash through the brick wall with your head when there's an open door 2 feet to your left...

After reading all the comments I went out this morning and looked at them again, and think I understand how to do it. Makes me feel a little stupid, but sure appreciate all the help. You guys are like haveing a bunch of dads around to ask questions of. Thanks so much!

Now that you've got the basics, it's time for advanced tractor tire mounting:

You can also bolt the rim/tire and wheel assemblies together in different combinations to get different tread widths for cultivating various crops.

The wheel centers are shaped like a bowl, and can be installed with the dish pointed in, or the dish pointed out.

The four lugs on the rims are offset to one side as well.

By flipping the dishes in or out, and moving the tires from one side to the other (all while keeping the tread pointed forward), you can change the width of the tractor in 4" increments.
