Setting Rear Wheel Spacing on a John Deere 4055

This is a hands-on walkthrough of widening the rear wheel spacing on a John Deere 4055, switching it from narrow row-crop setup to a wider hay-mowing stance. It covers jacking up the tractor, breaking the wedge free with a breaker bar and impact, improvising a bottle-jack-and-chain method when the official factory tool isn't available, and retorquing bolts after driving. Useful for 4055 owners doing this exact adjustment themselves.
