Thanks for reading! I hate to ask, but the set of manuals I've ordered from Messy-icky about a week ago haven't shown up.

How is the best way to go about moving the rear wheels out, and can they be moved to the outermost holes? I need ALL the stability I can get; yesterday as I dragged a 5x10 utility trailer behind the house, the puppy tried to roll over! (I wish the previous owner hadn't taught her THAT particular trick, it's really starting to get time!)

So please chime in with steps as well as tips. I'll be working on a fairly level section of my driveway, front on the downhill side, 4x4 chocks. Several bottle jacks and a couple of floor jacks, but no hoist or come-along. Access to an engine hoist but hope that wouldn't be needed. (How heavy are those things, filled with air?) Are any of the bolts bigger than 7/8"? That is the size of the rear lugs (and my largest socket).

First go to kubotabooks.com and download the manual for free, that should help you out with the visual aspect.
They are about as heavy as a truck tire, nothing a normal average person can handle.
Do one side at a time.

Thanks, Wolfie, did that about 3 days after delivery. (Reviewing the downloads convinced me to buy high-quality goods from Messyick (who STILL haven't come through -- guess they used slow-drying ink!)

<fierce frown> Are you dissing me? Well, truthfully, not much average about me, but your reference is reassuring. Looking at them, I expect them to be as heavy and awkward as a semi's tire, not a big pickup's... or was it a semi- that you meant?

About the only way I can go until I get experienced with things.

I had hoped to be doing the change today, the last day of decent weather this week. But I want to do wiring for a 220v compressor first, so it looks like there will be a test to see if my patience permits waiting 'til next week, or converting the garage into a garage.
