Abstract
An adjustment tool and means for adjusting the axial position of a tractor wheel and hub with respect to an axle including a cross beam with two perpendicularly extending arms being adjustably positionable on the cross beam. The arms extend to abut against the wheel and have rod members extending from those ends which are insertable through auxiliary apertures in the wheel. A center rod is mounted on the cross beam, is adjustable perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the cross beam, and is alignable with the axle of the tractor. The hub and wheel can be moved outwardly along the tractor axle by securing the rods on the end of the arms to the wheel and then adjusting the center rod down against the tractor axle causing the secured rods and arms to pull the wheel and hub along the axle. The wheel and hub can be pushed inwardly along the axle by securing an axle gripping means to the inner end of the center rod and adjusting the center rod outwardly from the axle to cause the center bar to move inwardly and cause the arms to push the hub and wheel inwardly along the axle.
