Re: Rear Axle Question

[Schuyler Wrobel <schuyler62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim, I have a 741 case 8 3/4 on my wagon. I can't get a very good 
measurement
with the way it sits right now but it's definably closer to 55-5/8" 
then 57 1/2".
Don't know about your 64 but my 62 wagon has plenty of room to go wider.
I would think the perch to perch measurement would be my concern for 
ease
of swapping?
