 Topic: lowering stamped WC rear end
Posted: 02 Mar 2015 at 5:47pm |

Got a styled wc with the stamped welded rear end. I've been told that you can turn the axles and lower the rear end, heard that it lengthens the tractor too. I can't find any info on it online, so can anybody tell me how much it lowers and lengthens it? Also what are the benefits of it? Maybe just better weight distribution? Any input would be great!

I assume it's like a 180-185, six bolts, so each bolt hole you turn it back would be 60 degrees.

All the rules iv seen say you cant change the wheelbase which this would do. Used to pull against a guy with a wd had his clocked till we made him put them back.

So keep the wheelbase the same, move the front wheels back. There's something to the different angle of the bull gears. This was also done long ago when everyone was using F20s & F30s for modified V-8 tractors. That is one thing that makes a CA outdo a C. D10-12-14-& 15 tractors also have canted bull gear housings.
