m6800 wheel spacers

[circled]

Hello all. Does anyone have a source for wheel spacers / hub extenders for a m6800 with stock rims? I have struck out so far with the tracks company and unverferth.
Thanks.

Maybe try Gemplers or even Kubota itself. They are a standard 8 hole, 8" bolt circle with 6" hole in the middle so anything with that size will work. I've seen all sorts of spacers for cars at Summit Racing so the company that makes those must also make other sizes. Trucks are the same source so that's a possibility as well. But should you? Spacers shift loads and put strain on axles that most manufacturers say not to do.

It's pricey but I had Unverferth make wheel centers for me that worked great.

Thanks six. I should have noted in my post that I am only looking for rear spacers, 3 inch per side. I read on here that they do wonders for stability. Unverferth will make custom, but they are very expensive. Unverferth will be a last resort. utvpartsandaccessories.com has spacers for M4700, but not sure they are compatible.

I think M4700 is the same bolt pattern but you also need the same bolt diameter. You can also buy step-thread wheel studs.

In a similar situation once, I had Unverferth cut the center out of my wheel centers on a 95 +/- HP Kubota. Then I had them use a universal 8x8 w/6" center and weld it into place. It was my least expensive option. Unverferth did beautiful work.

Many older--1960's forward tractors have the same bolt pattern so maybe you can find some wheels spaced more to your liking. I know Case is the same. Hate to see spacers unless you have to.
