the widest setting. NOTE: This may require switching the wheels to opposite sides of
tractor. Also take note of any width restrictions when transporting by trailer. (For ease of
installation, it is best to leave the rear wheels removed during installation of the mower.)

4WD FRONT TIRE ADJUSTMENT
In order to prevent interference with mounted equipment, the front wheels on a 4WD
5101E tractor will have to be adjusted to approximately 64” center to center distance as
shown below. Please refer to your John Deere Maintenance Manual to see the correct
rim and tire configuration to achieve this. Double check the wheel spacing after
adjustment by oscillating and turning the tires fully to check for any interference.
