BX 23s Amazon Wheel spacers

[Henro]

The neat thing about these spacers being hub centric is they lock together well and , without a MMM, if you wanted to double them up you likely could without issue.

I stacked one of the 2 inch spacers I bought to give to my son in law on top of one of the 1.25 inch ones I am putting on my BX, and they locked together tightly even without pulling them together with lug nuts.

Not having a belly mower, I decided to order a 2 inch version. Install was simple, and stability on hillside seems better, at least after my trial run. I like the aggressive look it gives the little beast, too.��View attachment 664727View attachment 664728View attachment 664729

These are what I would like for my bx 23 ( model before yours ). Does the bore size matter? I want to be sure they will fit mine

As long as the diameter of your wheel bore is at least 70mm, you should be good.

I put the 1.25 inch spacers on my 2004 BX2200 this afternoon. They fit perfectly. Used blue Loctite on the bolts holding the spacers to the hub. In the case of the BX2200 there are five bolts and no studs.

I suspect that since these spacers work on my older tractor, as well as on the BX23s, they probably would work on any BX. But I do not know for certain.

So are you saying the 1.5" won't work with a 54" deck? Is the front wheels the same bolt pattern as the back? We are looking at the BX23S or the JD 1025R and the width/ stability issue is one thing we like about the BX vs the JD.

edit: The link shows 1" and 1.5" spacers not 1.25 and 2, so that's why I am asking...

With the 1.25 you end up with the tire about 1/2" from the mower, I wouldn't go any larger to allow for tire deformation on bumpy surfaces.

Is the distance any different for the 60" deck? Whats the widest wheel spacers you can use with the 60" mowing deck?

I do not have a feel for the added stability of 1" or 1.5" spacers. Generally any added rear wheel spacing helps of course but 1" ? Seems small to me. I added 6" spacers to each side of my B2150 in order to operate on much steeper ground. Stunning improvement beyond question. I had to modify the wheel support bars on my MMM deck but for my situation it was well worth it.
