The reason I chose 3-7/16" is because I just bolted the front mount in the rear hole,which moved it back 3-7/16". Then of course, the drive shaft and brake linkage had to be 3-7/16" longer. On the 100 build, I moved the rear axle back 2" and made a new driveshaft and brake linkage 2" longer. All this to use 27" tall tires and to get a "cool looking stance" and to get more leg/arm room (I have long legs and arms) (not to make it go faster)  |
Nice and thank you! I just got lucky and found out my neighbor is a welder by trade and likes beer. I can buy beer hahahaha. I'll talk more about this in your thread Tim. I have a 73 that wants to grow up to be just like your tractors
