The manual for my 1967 Cub says that the rear wheels can be set at 40, 44, 48, 52 or 56 inches apart. But it does not say if those measurements are inside to inside, center to center or outside to outside. The drawing in the manual looks like it may be center to center.
My actual measurements don't jive with any of the options in the manual. I'm trying to set the Cub up to cultivate a raised bed that is 24" wide plus some shoulder. I need about 36" inside to inside (between the rear tires).
Does anyone know if the manual's measurements are inside to inside, center to center or outside to outside. And, more importantly, which wheel set up will give me about 36" between the wheels.
My actual measurements are:
32" between the wheels
41" center to center
49" outside to outside
Any help would be much appreciated!

Tread width measurements are taken center to center.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Setting the tread width to 44" should come pretty close to getting you the 36" width you need for a seedbed.

Thanks Bigdog. I was thinking that 44" would just about give me what I need.
I first got the Cub to just mow, but the plans have changed. Our place has not been farmed for close to 40 years. It has just about 1 1/2 acres ready to farm now, and we can get it all certified organic due to the lack of farming activity on the whole place. The Cub was designed to implement what is now referred to as sustainable agriculture methods and the Cub's mechanical cultivation tools are as organic as you can get. What a great little tractor!

They are also very cost effective to maintain and use (they are wayyy easy on gas), for the work that they accomplish, if speed is not your utmost concern. Yes, they should make an ideal machine for small, sustainable agriculture.

99% around here are/were set to 44" in order to straddle one row.

Just FYI, had new tires mounted on the rear and had the guy move the rims out to the second, or 44" center to center, setting. Wish I had of had a little mpeg of that conversation---took about 30 minutes!
But the 44" setting gave me exactly 36" between the rear tires. That should let me cultivate a 24" raised bed perfectly.
BTW, what's with all the threads being moved??? And to where are they moved?? Inquiring minds want to know!
