Valve Stems

Why are the valve stems on the inside on my rear wheels of my L3301?

P.O. flipped them around to widen (or narrow) the stance.

As Bill mentioned - to increase width of tires.

Here is a drawing of old 8N tires and how the width could be chanced by move the rims on the hubs.

Notice the last couple of pictures HAVE the rims flipped.

Helps protect them from damage to some degree.

The tech did it just to get some giggles later on.

Did you also spend a few minutes trying to figure out where they were??

Actually I saw them right away as I was standing at the back area looking it the PTO shaft and saw them at that time.

Yes it does, I may have slid into some ice/snow while clearing my mother in laws driveway a few years ago, kind of looked like someone ordered a lime snow cone when the antifreeze in the tire spewed out everywhere. No good deed goes unpunished, Dang it!
