Been wanting to do this and finally got it done!!

Simply left to right and right to left .. Gained about 4" .. Had to do fronts as well.

More stability and better ride.

Be sure to check tightness after about 10 hours use.

I've been thinking about doing the same thing on my 5085M. I haven't had any issues with stability or ride. My main interest in doing it would be for more width over the windrow when baling hay. Don't know if it would really help anything or not.

I need to remove the left rear on the 6415 to install a fuel tank guard. Loaded 18.4 34 with two 110lb weights. I have not talked myself into tackling it yet.:irked:
