Hi Nick;
This is my 1963 MF35X which is identical to your US built 35. The narrowest overall width you can get down to is 64 inches - that is with the rear wheel centres set at 52 inch centres.
Look at my rear wheels, the outside edge of the centre is level with the outside of the tyre. It is possible to drop the rims (on the centres) down to 48 inch centres but the middle of the centres will stick out beyond the edge of the tyres - and your tyres may rub on the inside of the fenders.
So 64 inches is the minumum overall width, you will need an extra few inches for a clearance if you are putting the tractor into a shed.
