He physically pulls wheels, flips a rim, and remounts it on the opposite side, measuring before and after: 56 inches widened to roughly 63-64 inches, about 7-8 inches gained. No tools list or torque specs given, just the process and result.
Posted by the Bama Country 88 channel, an owner working on his own tractor rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
Pull the rim and tire off one side, flip it, and remount it on the opposite side to change the offset and widen the stance.
The stance went from 56 inches to roughly 63.5 to 64 inches, a gain of about 7 to 8 inches.
The owner has sloping, uneven ground near a pond and wanted a wider, more stable stance to handle it.
