This low hour tractor found a home with me last week. Unfortunately the dealer misplaced the manual and they ordered one for me.
My rear tire valve stems face inwards on the backside of the wheels. So I believe the tires are set to narrow width?
Does anyone have a manual that could copy the page for adjusting the rear wheel spacing. Mine are the R4’s industrial HD tires. Also need torque specs.
Thanks!

They are set to the widest width right now, everything is dished out. ;)

This chart is for older models but the arrangement is still the same, yours are set to the right side of the adjustment.

Yes they are dished out but after measuring the rim, can't the tires be unbolted from dish and swapped to the opposite sides (leaving dishes out) and since the inside of rim is deeper, it would widen the total width?

I'm making an assumption they are set narrow because of inside clearance and valve stems are on inside of wheels.

Valve stems are normally out, they have reversed them to make them wider.

If you were to pull the complete assembly off and swap them to the other side of the tractor, (this also keeps the tread going the proper direction), then they would be set to the narrowest setting, You are right now set to the widest setting possible.

Here is the chart for your exact model, it looks like they don't want you to swap out the center portion, look to only be usable dished out.
Right now, like I said before, your wheels are set just like in the right hand column, spin the rims around and bolt them to the outside of the outer rim mounts then they will be set to the narrowest.

Thanks for the chart!
The rim is wider on the inside and the tire only has 1.5 inches clearance from cab vertical support.
They are set to 1325mm the left column.
If I am reading the chart correctly the measurements are from the tire centerline. The tire is 16 inches wide and from the centerline of both tires I measured 52-3/4 inches.
So I believe they are in their narrowest position.

I plan on using this for snow removal with a hydraulic snowblower and was considering loading the rear tires and could not t figure out why the rear valve stems were on the inside. If I set the tires to the middle specification of 54.3+16=70.3 inches and I will be narrower than the 72 inch wide snowblower .
