Increasing width by turning wheel center?

Is it possible to reverse the rear wheel center on my B6001? :confused:
If so, I could increase the width with about 5 centimeter (2 inch) on each side making my tractor more stable. :)

Yes you can both move the hubs out and turn the wheels around (just swap the right and left wheel / tire setup to keep the tread going the proper direction).

hmm ,this is interesting as my b6100 has the wheel an hub reversed of picture , Im thinking there is more than than one way to mount those hubs to wheels and hubs to axel , I well have to have a go as Ive rolled mine more than once and I have NO ROP . and its not fun pushing it back on its feet . 2 " on each side would make a lot better footing on mine .... good post..Jerr
