    Big Red Wheel Spacers

    I am using a 1983, 200e Big Red on my farm; to do what it was intended to do, as per the 1983 factory brochures, farm work. Imagine that. I'm just kidding; we all have seen those sales brochures, for the Big Reds.

    But I am using it on the farm; and would like to increase the rear thread width. I do some spraying on side-hills and the increased width would give me a little stability on the hills. When I stop on the hills to spray, it is a little twitchy. No excuses needed I have to add weight and tire ballast to the big tractors. On the big tractors I have the wheels set out farther than normal.

    This particular machine never does any sport riding; so I don't see any problems like bent axles from jumping or hard riding.

    Has anyone used wheel spacers? If so does anybody have an extra set. I have 4 hole wheels.

    Here is my 1984 200ES BIG RED with ITP rear rims, as you can see there is more width and they gave me more stability. New ITP rims are cheap about 40 buckes each if I remeber right.

    Thanks Guys, for the ideas.

    Both the spacers and the ITP wheels would do the job.
