Challenger MT297 - Agricultural Rear Wheel Settings

Specifications and Capacities
01-16 79028569 A Rev.
Agricultural-Type Rear Wheels
Four different rear tread width settings may be achieved
by reversing wheel centers, switching rear tires and
wheels from side to side, and/or by repositioning wheel
rim on the wheel center.
NOTE: Agricultural lug-type tires must always be
installed so when viewed from the rear, the V
pattern of the tread points upward.
FIG. 9: To adjust rear tread width, jack Tractor sufficiently
and securely block in raised position.
To change rim offset - Remove rim (2) from wheel center
(1). Rotate wheel center slightly (so rim brackets can
move past outer edge of wheel center) and reposition rim
on opposite side of wheel center.
Repeat procedure with remaining side.
To reverse entire wheel and tire assembly - Raise both
rear tires of Tractor. Remove bolts securing both rear
wheel assemblies to rear axle hubs and switch wheel
assemblies to opposite sides of Tractor.

CAUTION: Rear wheels are heavy. Use care
when moving. Make sure Tractor is blocked
securely.
Tighten all wheel bolts securely and recheck after short
period of operation.

will interfere and may be cut off.
