My rear tire size is 14.9x24 i just went and looked at them as far as the gap i am thinking i have at least 1" i just removed my backhoe the other day so i cant measure it right now.I am getting her ready to split it this winter and hopefully fix some stuff. I am pretty sure the lines are close with them in the down position but no rubbing . I can get you a measurement after i put it back together but that won't be for a while. As far as a challenge i have also been helping my neighbor with a 1973 580b he just bought and the biggest thing i am finding with these older machines is that people didn't keep up with the maintenance on them which starts out as little problems at first but leads to major problems later.Mine and my neighbors were left outside and i have seen more water in oil than i care to. We both have barns so now thats where they live now. If i didnt have the barn it would be tarped with a quality tarp.
As far as my ck i absolutely love this tractor i only gave $3100.00 delivered for it and it did'nt move, bad lines, gauges broke or missing, leaking cylinders,tires were junk,no brakes,
and so ugly it could scare you just to look at it but it ran good and hydraulics worked.
Over the past 3 years I have been bringing it back to life concentrating on the major stuff working my way to the minor stuff im hoping after this split the majors are done. But up to this point i have worked the heck out of this and it has handled anything i have asked of it.They work so hard i swear somedays mine talks and its saying I want to go longer and im saying im beat down and done for the day, but for me its awesome knowing you can quit for the day and it survived a day of removing stumps,pushing trees,or digging a basement and it literally outworks you.
Thanks for the lead on Dale i will keep him in mind when i get there.
I am curious about the gauge on your hydraulic filter housing mine had a plug in it i have since put a old pressure gauge in mine but i would like a original can you send a good pic of yours so i know what im looking for.
If i can help with anything else on yours feel free to ask..
