2305 wheel specs for BM22725 spacers

[BamaJDfan]

Bottom Line Up Front: Does anyone know the specs on the bolt pattern/measurement for 2305 wheels?

Background: I am looking into getting some spacers for my front wheels. They hit the lever for the MMM when I turn the wheel fully. I have placed the left tire on the right side and the right tire on the left side to use the wider stance. This causes issues when I check the air pressure.

I know JD sells BM22725 as a whole goods spacer kit (hardware included). I also know they are a bit pricey for two hunks of metal. There are a bazillion spacer dealers out there can can sell spacers for half the price JD wants. I can measure the pattern by starting in the middle of the No 1 bolt hole and measure to the far side of the No 3 bolt hole ...but I am concerned my old eyes won't be as accurate as is required (usually measured in MM). ...so I am calling in the pros to help. Does anyone have this info handy?

This is the first time I have heard of this interference,
can you post some pictures of your setup so we
get a better idea what might be causing the interference?
it might just be a setup issue.
which mower deck do you have?

I am running the 62C MMM. When I turn the wheel fully to the right, the LH tire lugs hit the front deck hanger bracket knob. In the owners manual, OMLVU14333, it shows a knob like I have installed in the parts ID section but in the installation and removal sections it shows an "L" shaped lever.

In my current setup (RH tire on LH side, LH tire on RH side) it does not hit because the wheels are shallow on one side and deep on the other - allowing a wider stance.

I want to get the spacers so I can put the tires back in the original position to service the air pressure easier.

There's a different part that needs to be changed out
on your draft assy. I'll send some pics in a little while,
it comes with the lift kit and is supposed to be changed out
on setup.
no need for spacers!

Thanks Dutch. I'll look forward to the photos.

Dutch445 thanks for posting. For those of you that have the earlier 2305, this was a problem. It is now fixed on the newer units.

Dutch,

Does this fix also do the same for a 2210? I have the same problem with the industrial tires hitting the knob on sharp turns.

Thanks, Bill

I would think so, they were basically the same
tractor with the same attachments, and it's a
cheap fix if it works
