Rear wheel spacers

[Cutty]

Noticed there is a set of rear wheel spacers on ebay right now. Was wondering if they would be a good idea for a greenhorn who plans on bush hogging his fairly hilly pasture with his newly aquired 8n. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190363748764&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

or you could just swap wheels from side to side giving a wider track width. or ballast in rear tires helps too

I note that thet seller has two sets of these. The reserve is not met on this set and the other set has been bid to $200. Perhaps I'll sell the set that I removed from my 64 4000 utility.

Rear wheel spacing can be set by changing wheel center and rim mounting points. The owners or shop manual will walk you through the available width's. The Ebay spacers are for mounting dual rear wheels.

Thanks for the replies. I got my manuals in the mail today and already I'm a wheel spacing genius! Learning lots here and in the manual. It's a great source of knowledge here. Thanks again.

I have a pair of those spacers and, if my measurements are correct, I can mount some rear tires and rims that I have from a Ford 2000 LCG onto an 8N. Why? Just 'cause. Talk about a wide load!
