Call your local bolt supply store, not a chain store but place that caters to factories, williams bolt used to be around here. They might be able to order you the bolt special then you can have it machined.

Usually, I can get the wheel to move with two of the special bolts. With the wheel jacked up, turn it until the axle keyway is up. Back the bolts out of the top wedge about an inch. Completely remove the lower wedge bolts and use the pusher bolts in that wedge. The wheel should move in and then the wedge will continue to be pulled out of the wheel. This way, the top wedge still keeps the wheel indexed to the keyway and then can be moved in or out on the axle by lowering the jack.

Thanks for the info, Mr. Marshall. I can get two bolts loaned to me. I need to move the wheel IN. I am going to use the 7030 for planting and as it is now, the tire runs over the row about an inch.

I don't think that the 7000 series can get down to a true 30 inch setting. The cab interferes. With an 18.4 tire , 31 or 32 inch spacing is about as close as it gets.

I pull a 12-30 Kinze with my 220 which has 30.5-32's. Outer 10 inches of tire run where rows are. Has no effect on planting or emergence. Just saying.

^^^^I kind of wondered if it wouldn't be OK as is. I THINK if it is just the edge of the tire it would be better than if the center was running on the row. If I leave them as is, I would put the duals on. The duals are clamp on and I am pretty sure the dual would miss the next row and take some pressure off of the inside tire. The Kinze split row planters have a tire running on the row and it seems they don't have any trouble.

Come to think of it, it seems a practice to seed the outside couple rounds (Headlands?) then fill in the center, and that required driving on the outside rounds to make a turn.
I've never seen any tracks in the new growth that looked like where the tractor/seeder pulled over the seeded area.

By gosh, I got both wheels moved with just two jackbolts. I set them on about 70". Not close enough for spraying or cultivating (not that it is done much today) it will not be running on a row when planting. I also think my clamp on duals will narrowly miss the row with this setting. I had quite a time with one wheel but finally got it. I didn't understand how you could move the wheel by lowering the jack as Lynn stated but after doing it, it is apparent and easy.
