Does a B have moveable wheels?

conductormtm · May 21, 2014

I have a nice Farmall B that I can"t transport because it is 80" wide and I don"t know anyone with a trailer that can take that width. Am I out-of-luck or I can I adjust the wheelbase width?

Yes, they are adjustable by varying the way the rims are mounted on the wheels. Depending on what tire size yours has you may, or may not, be able to get it narrower than it is.

My B is 78" outside to outside of the rear tires. I haul it on a 102" wide trailer that has 83" between the fenders.

You might want to hire someone with a deckover trailer, they are wider yet.

i have the same issue, what size tires do you have?

Turn them in like this and they will be as narrow as they get. These pics don’t show it very well but the wheel lugs are behind the wheel center instead of in front of the wheel center. Hope that makes since. I don’t think you can get it any narrower than that and not sure what that measures.

When you start with the, "I don't know anyone," line, that's a good time to start making new friends and expanding your horizons.
