What is the largest wheel spacer that can be used with a 54" MMM.

I'm thinking mine are 1" 1/8" bought these at least 5 yrs ago. Hope this helps.

I've got 1 1/2 on mine & they fit just about right. The only thing I noticed was on the right rear guide wheel handle it would hit the tire when I flipped it out. So I took my grinder & took about 1/2 in off of it. Works just fine now.

So how much difference does 3" total make to the stability of the tractor??

The broteck 1.4 are very tight with mower deck. You can find some pictures and measurements in this post.
Bro-tek wheel spacers

You would have to cut wheels off of the deck to use 3 inch spacers. Sulley has 3's. He raves about them.

1-1/2" spacers make a 3" difference in stance. I think that's what Bob is asking. A 3" spacer makes a 6" difference.

Bob, I added a cab this summer and then 1.5" spacers. It does make a difference in stability. It doesn't feel as tippy with the cab. I imagine without the cab it would feel better also... just a better footprint.

If you have the deck on the machine you can measure the gap with the deck raised. Sulley doesn’t have a deck on his and can benefit from 6” extra width.

I don't have a deck on my machine, but I would be worried that 3" spacers would put too much stress on the axles/hubs? I do a lot of loader work, so added stability would be super nice.

You’d have to ask Sulley. It’s been a while but I’m pretty sure is a nice in depth thread on them. Lemme see...
Here it is
