There is no "right way" or "wrong way". It depends on how far apart you want the
wheels to be spaced. There is no advantage or disadvantage. They were designed to go
either way. The wheel spacing is adjustable to some extent on the splined axle. If you want the tread spaced REALLY narrow, then the hollow dish side of the wheel
should face inward. If you want them REALLY wide, then the hollow side should face outward. As you can see, the
pressed steel wheel, shown above, has the hub lock on the hollow dish side.

The cast iron wheel has the hub on the opposite side from the hollow dish. It doesn't matter which side the hub is on. What DOES matter is that the tread on the tires should point in the right direction. If you want to turn the wheels around from the way they are now, you should also swap them from left to right. If you MUST know.... the tractor comes from the factory with the hollow of the dish to the INSIDE. The hub will be on whatever side depending on the type of wheel. |
