5220H fender is touching the tire.

[TXWELDER]

Tire and fender are touching. How can make a gap in between them? I thought getting a 1” board and letting it ride the tire to try and push the fender up. It’s clearly touching on the right side fender where there’s a larger gap on the left side. Tractor is brand new, I’ve had it three days.

Something is wrong any pictures.?

I don’t have any pictures but it’s not the top or the front of the fender, it’s the angled section between the two. I’m thinking somebody sat on it or something. It’s not dented or scratched at all.

Check your tire pressure. Over inflated tires get bigger.

I’ll give it all a once over for anything bent, broken or generally incorrect.

Based on those pictures, those rear tires are inflated much more than I run tires. You can see from the dirt on the tires that only about the center 1/3 of the tread is making contact with the ground. I try to keep mine inflated so the entire tread width makes contact. That gives a softer ride, better traction, and a bigger contact area so less ground compaction.
But it does look like that right fender is bent down a bit too.

From this rear picture, you can see the right fender is pointing down slightly and the left one is straight. So you may have a bent fender from someone sitting there or something.

Ruff dog is right ,tires are to full. bddy recently bought a new ls and his were way overinflated as well.
