bora wheel spacer (3inch) L3200

[roaf3x]

Has anybody used the BORA wheel spacers. I can not find any guidance on how to install them.
I have not heard of any complaints or issues with them.

? for the group-
Will Aluminum spacers with steel bolts hold the weight of a loaded tractor. The L3200 can haul a good load on the 3 point.
Has anybody installed these on an L series that would share the how and what not to do's ??

Many Thanks !

My brother put them on his Kioti. They are well made, come with bolts made to take the load and work/fit perfectly. He is very happy with his.

There are instructions for installing wheel spacers here (just find your model's instructions) Bro-Tek

Oops - I thought you had a "B" series. So maybe this link won't help. Sorry.

I put them on an L3400 and were simple to install. Make sure you torque the bolts to specs and use lock-tight on them. It's been a couple of years but I thought they come with instructions.

Cd- how wide were they?
Have you ever had any issues?
It looks like the six small bolts go into the hub.
The other bolts are wheel.

I have 2 lug nuts which I don't see where they go ...no directions other than the generic ones

I installed a set of Bora 3.5" spacers on my L3901 and have about 60 hours on them without any problems. Tractor is much more stable. I jacked the tractor up, put a strap around the tire and held it up with a cherry picker loosened the wheel and pulled it back. Removed the two studs and mounted the spacer with the included bolts, torqued bolts, remounted the tire to spacer and torqued lug bolts. Retorqued everything after 5 hours. Not hard to install just be careful because rear tires are heavy, especially if filled. Smaller headed bolts hold spacer to hub and tire lug bolts are like original lug bolts except a little longer as best I remember.

Great information.
I talked to Lenny and he thought the L3200 has 2 fixed studs on the hub.
My hubs have 6 threaded studs that look removeable?
Did you use locktite on aluminum?
Thanks for the help !

Any suggestion or ballpark prices for 1 - 1.5" spacers? I'm happy with the track & stability of my L3200. However the snow this week was to much for my machine with its R4s. I finally tried to put on the chains I got 2 years ago & the rumors I'd heard about not enough clearance between the R4s & fenders was true. Need a bit more room if I want to get those chains on.

I am taking a set of spacers off 1.5 per side from Kubota. The chains will hit the fenders or you will not be able to get your hand behind as tighter is better on all tires especially R4.
I had turfs And am going to R4 -You will need spacers for sure.
If you want pm me and I will find a way to get you a set from an L3200 that has 155 hours on it.
The Kubota version are perfect for chains and probably made for the addition of tire chains.
Chains and weight box and you will be invincible ...

Cheers,

Sorry for the late reply. Mine were 4", no issues with 400 hours lugging around a 6' brush hog on right of ways. I'm not sure I understand. You have 2 extra lug nuts?

Thanks guys !
I have learned quite a bit about hubs and spacers.
I also realized today that the dealer installed my wheel spacer kit. I paid 250.00 they said it costs 350.00.
I never received the original hardware.
Mikes1165 pictures were perfect!!

The dealer now wants me to buy the hardware (2studs and lugs) for my tractor.
I bought a new tractor and a new kit should I have to pay again?

I wouldn't think so. You've already paid for it.

It's been a while now since the installation of the spacers. Are you still having no issues? How many hours now? Any words of wisdom after having used them for a while? Thanks.

I installed Bora 2” steel spacers on my B2601. They’re fantastic and easy to install. I highly recommend them.

Did you try spacers on your L2501?

Not yet. The L2501 is pretty stable on my hillsides (with tire ballast).

However, if I move forward with spacers sometime in the future, I’ll likely go with 3”.

2015 L3301 here with at least 400 hrs on a set of 3” spacers and loaded R1 ag tires adjusted out to widest setting.

No issues to install, never had any issues of loosening, oil leaks, bent anything.
It was a game changer on my side of a hill property in Oklahoma.
Absolutely would do it again.

I have the same issue. I have an l3200 and ice chains, but there isnt enough room inside to install them. What size spacers have you guys used for this? I was thinking 3 inch. Thanks

3" will do.
