- It has been a while since I installed my wheels so I am not going to give you a step-by-step precedure but I will give you some pointers.
1. Place the gription wheels on the rear not the front as AM instructed. I tried the front but there was too much slippage for the loads/grades I wanted to pull. 2. Make sure the siderods on one side are lined up so that they are in a straight line with the axles of the three wheel sets. The center lines of the rod screw holes and axles should be in a straight line when viewed from the side. Make sure you do not disturb this alignment. 3. Remove the old wheel set and carefully install the gription wheel set so that the alignment of the rod screw holes and axles is maintained. This is really an easy change, just work carefully. I have gone thru the procedure three times without any problems. I am sure there are other ways of doing this, but what I described worked for me. Others may be able to give you more info on the various steps to take. Good luck, Harry Eberhardt -- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > OK.
