stevebo-(Moderator) 8,516 #3 Posted January 2, 2015 Would be nice to have a set that spaces them out about 1 inch for inside clearance of tire chains to clear the hydro fan.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was always curious about this. What kind of minor modifications are necessary? I don't have much of a metal shop, so I have never bought a set just to try.

TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #7 Posted January 2, 2015 I was always curious about this. What kind of minor modifications are necessary? I don't have much of a metal shop, so I have never bought a set just to try. It's been a while, but I remember buying new G8 7/16-20 bolts that were long enough to pass through a plain 1/2" tapered seat steel lug nut (older Ford car/truck), through the spacer, and thread into the tractor hub. The bolts were long enough to extend through the wheel hub so a nut could be threaded onto the end. The nut was tightened against the wheel hub - locking the bolt in place. The bolt holes in the wheel need opened up to 1/2" to fit over the adapter studs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 43,536 #8 Posted January 2, 2015 With the spacers I used on a C-145 I got 7/16 by 2" bolts and thick washers along with star lock washers. I threaded them into the hub from the inside like car lugs. Then used old chevy lug nuts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The bolt holes in the wheel need opened up to 1/2" to fit over the adapter studs. 7/16-20 x 2" long from the back of the hubs. 7/16-20 open end lug nuts available in auto supply outlets. Pic below shows 7/16-20 x 1-1/2" long bolts. I'll have to change bolts (length) if I use spacers. Easy enough. One chore, lug bolts to lug nuts, is usually high on my list of items to to. Makes changing wheels so much easier. Edited January 2, 2015 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,162 #10 Posted January 3, 2015 I was referring to the 1" (or thicker) bolt-on spacer/adapter. They get fastened to the tractor hubs and can stay there. Running the bolts in through the thicker adapter/spacer means there's no danger of interference with installing the wheel on the outward-facing studs. The seats in the thick spacer/adapter are designed for larger lug nuts (13/16" hex) which is why I recommended sliding the bigger lug nuts over the 7/16" bolts. If that seems unprofessional, drill the tractor hub holes out to install 1/2" wheel studs to match the correct lug nuts for the adapter/spacer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHwest8597 85 #11 Posted January 25, 2016 Did Toro make lugs that were used with these spacers? Talked to Toro today and they said they didn't have spacers for a 314-8 1996. I got a set of theses spacers from dealer on Friday. I stopped at another dealer and they didn't have spacer or longer lugs just standard 83-2720 lugs. I guess I could try and find a auto parts store that has the right size lugs and set them up like a car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
