Ran into a figment issue trying to put a 38" 3-spindle deck on my 100 that wears a set of 8.5" Tru-Powers on the back. For some reason the tires don't fit between the gauge wheel ears on the deck. I am using the subframe that came with the deck in the picture, which came from my parents' 100, though their tractor wears a set of 6-12 stock turfs on the rear.
Note: The stub axles only add approx. 1/4" to the width on each side.
Any suggestions on how to make it fit without cutting the ears off?
