Rear wheel extensions ?

Postby Yogie » Sun Sep 01, 2019 9:35 am

Anyone building these rear wheel spacers ? Very expensive item if you can find the originals out there. Looks like it would be pretty easy to fab something like this. I've done gravely tractors and other type mowers in the past. I might give it a try this winter, a friend about a mile away from me has a factory set on his grandfathers tractor I've looked at. He also put a turnbuckle type of adjustment between the finals to add strength.

I used spacers from ezaccessories but you need the washers to go in the tapered rim holes so the rim is held secure. Woods mowers came with these spacers so the washers they are available.

I used the widest spacers ez had. I had the inside fcub wheel turned in narrow then the spacer then the 154 rim on the outside.

I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Thanks Val, to my surprise I got a big heavy box in the mail last week from a forum member out in the flat lands telling me to enjoy the spacers and be safe... Just shot the first coat of paint on them tonight and hope to mount them maybe this weekend. I'm pretty excited... :tractor:

Here’s mine, you might need the conical shaped washers on the rims to secure them the bolts alone aren’t enough. Woods wheel spacers come with these washers they can be ordered separately I been told.

The outer rim is a 154 lobby rim.

Saw these repops the other day and looking now found originals. Dual rear tires look pretty good but it’s expensive.

Just to clarify, what you posted are spacers, not dual adapters. Here’s a thread on dual adapters.
