[redhorse100 4]

hi i just picked up a 310-8 a couple days ago. didnot get to check out alot yet but hear is my problem. the tires are cracked bad and need to be replaced. went outside today to check something on horse and the front tires are touching the axle and the tab the tie rods attach to. no space. on the inside of tire. maybe low on air horse sat awhile but it is touching. wh rolls but no space. could these be the wrong rims or is there suppose to spacers there. the guy owned this for five years and told me he never changed anything. and help thanks joe this is the same on both sides????

They might have been removed and then replaced backwards on the spindle. Take one off and flip it around and let us know if it takes care of your problem.

is the air valve on the outside or inside of the rim

if on the outside, it is backwards

That's part of the fun. These tractors were made to be understood and repairable by the owner, not planned obsolescence and thrown away like most things today . Learning Wheelhorse language can be painful at times, but when you are using them for work or what I call play it's all worth it. We are all glad to help with any question.
