Allis G, basket weeder set-up

John Kenny · Nov 9, 2011

Hello, I recently picked-up a AC-G which has new, fat rear-wheel tires on it(7" from the rim to the treads). The previous owner told me that the wheel spacing from front to back (~33") is too tight to put her basket weeder on, the problem being when the implement was lifted the rear-wheel bumped the implement. Based on the distance I listed above is there a particular basket weeder dimension that I need in order to fit this thing or do I need to find skinnier tires?

In this area, many, if not most of the growers had a spacer made up that fit between the front axle adjusting brackets and extended the wheelbase 6". This same spacer was made to give an additional offset to widen out the track to 64" or 68" centers. (Of course this necessitated spacers at the rear axle to match up with the fronts)

Hmmm, Spacers..I don"t know what the G bolt
pattern is...but..."4 Wheel Drive & Off Road"
magzine, and "JP" magazine,(about Jeeps) have
ads for wheel spacers, in various bolt patterns,
to widen the track of 4X4 vehicles!

I don't know what you need but there sure are a lot of YouTube videos with them on model Gs.

The ones often spoken of are Buddingh.

Actually I was not referring to widening the track (width-wise) but am concerned about the space length-wise BETWEEN the front and rear tires. The space is only about 33". The width of the tire treads is good, right where I want them. I guess I am really asking if there are implements that can be mounted on a G belly that will fit within that space, in particular basket weeders and drop-spreaders. Thanks.
