Does anyone know where I can find :
grade 8.8
17mm
fine thread
about 2.75" or 3" long
tapered shoulder
I'm having a set of rear wheel spacers made ; need longer bolts.
Thanks, GrayBeard

I have been emailng a place on line called Heywheel looking to get a set of two piece rims for my tractor but, am also interested in getting spacer instead of 2 piece rims.. Where did you get yours made?? I am trying to get a wider rear as I live in a hilly area and I believe an once of prevention... Thenks in advance David B /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Thanks all for the bolt info.
I'm getting the spacers made at a local machine shop here in central Pa.
My issue was not so much gaining a wider stance as much as getting a inch or so laterial clearance for my chains(rear).
They(chains) were very close to real "important stuff" on the inside of the wheel.
Mine are going to be aluminum about 1.5" wide.
Cost about 110.00 per wheel.
