L4240 upgrades

I looked the valve stem can not be turned to the inside on the 4240.

That's because you have R4 tires, valve stems always on the outside.

My R-1 ag tires can go either way, because the rims can be turned around. I have them set wide as possible and valve stems are out.

Yeah, there is not much adjusment on these. I can go just a hair wider.

My valve stems are on the outside but I have R1's set to the widest position.

There are four possible wheel spacings on the L4240 (and others; see diagram). Two of the settings have the valve stem facing the inside of the tire. The other two face outside. When I purchased my L4240, it came with the valves facing inwards. I wanted the widest possible width, as I have some very steep terrain, so I had the dealer switch the rims on the wheels (right rim/tire to left side, left rim/tire to right side). Now the valves face outwards. I have R4 tires.

Cool, I didn't know you could flip flop R-4s.

Did not think there would be enough room to flip the valve stem inwards with R4's on a L4240. I bet it is a tight fit. Mine are on the middle setting. If I went wider my 6' box blade would be narrower than the tractor. I think the measurements they list on that chart are to the middle of the tire.

Roger I like that step.. I have been meaning to do the Kioti, but haven't "got a round to it". I did the step on the last tractor the Kubota L3400hst, and it was great, especially in snowy weather.

Thanks James. If linex was not so expensive I would have almost everything covered with it.

I need advice on how to put a turbo on my L5740. Do not reply with negative crap, I don't want to read thru it all. Just tell me how to do it with clear instructions, part numbers, and drawings. It would be really nice if you could just come over and install it for me too. This POS won't pull itself out of it's own tracks in hill gear.
