The Tractor rear wheels at 7.5" OD are taxing my machines to the limits, after that all parts fall inside the machine envelope.
The RT is on 2" blocks + parallels laying flat to clear the RT base enlarging plate. I had about 1/4" Z axis to spare.

Nice setup. Brings to mind the right angle bracket that is (was?) sold by Bridgeport to mount their rotabs for horizontal use. In their case, there's a pair of bolt on brackets (handles and clamping surfaces) that can be removed from the rotab to reduce the overall height when so mounted. The right angle bracket bolts directly to the rotab base, where the one bracket was removed.

Another one of those jobs where the set-up takes ten times as long as the required task. Nice job.
