Of course if you used the tractor spindle you could offset the wheels to the rear slightly to balance the machine (if you can offset the drive chain since you are doing a 66). Great looking job though!!  I cannot wait to see the end result!!     Thanks.  It will be a while...I am going to put some more pieces of the frame on this weekend.      On those axles....Im not sure those are high speed (not specified on the link) I have seen similar versions elsewhere but had limits on ground speed. If I knew for sure my speed would be greater that would be a possible replacement. But for this first one Im not going there as I am losing my shirt on this one already.

They do make high speed stub axles for trailers even if those aren't.  You don't have to do it for this one, just a thought to file away for later.

Some cheaper high speed options:

Tom:  I heed to take a picture of the drive on my Massey Ferguson 33 planter hubs.  They use a modern style hub with a bolt on extension tube that moves the drive sprocket inboard enough to clear the tire.  Pretty simple and cheap solution.  Wish I had taken pictures while I had it apart last month replacing the axle bearings.  I do have the parts manual at the farm and I will try to get you a picture.

ALinIL wrote: Tom I agree, more info is needed.  But I believe they have the capability to provide a longer and larger spindle.  They also have hubs(6 bolt) that may fit your rims.
