Chuckinnc: I keep my tractors all set at 52" minamum center to center wheel tread. I have currently a Super A, 130 and 140, and 52" is minamum I feel safe with. I would set them wider but it causes them to use up shop floor space. Since I'm rarely anywhere but in my yard or garden and ground is level, suits me. Years ago on the dairy farm I ran the 130 at 60" wheel tread. I never considered any tractor safe set on minamum wheel tread. I operated tractors like 300, 560, 504 and 656 at 72" wheel tread. I even liked those big ones with duals, made them 10' wide and they would slide sideways down hill before they will roll. My late dad and I have combined 50 years of no lost time accidents to back this up.

Remember when you set wheel tread on a offset Farmall, keep the cast wheel on the right side, and center of tractor is point where front axle pivots, not pto shaft.
