Wheel spacer

[buckeyepost]

Went to put my new tire chains on last weekend and they slightly run the inside of the wheel well on my Kubota B8200. I figure a 1" wheel spaver will do the trick but can't find any for the size I need. It's a 6 lug, 5.91 bolt circle diameter. I attached a picture from the manual. Oh, Kubota does make a 3" kit for $416.... overpriced and overkill for me. Any suggestions???

Thanks

That's just about the same cost on my L2800 do you have local machine shop near by?

that is acually a pritty good price for two rear weel spacers, the steel alone is about half that price.

Am wondering if the bobcat skidsteer wheel spacers will work.
I'm looking into them for the 6 bolt pattern of my Deere 4300.

eBay about $300 for 4 of them 2" space.

I'm interested in the spacers to give a wider stance.
As far as tire chains go, I made my own to fit higher on the tire and stay further away from the fender. i.e. longer side chains and shorter cross chains. They ride in the dip at the ends of the R-4 lugs, as seen here. Good clearance that way.

I did this last spring for my Jinma 35 hp wound up making them myself. Local machine shops want $500 - $1000 for front and rear, way over my budget. I did have a buddy turn the pilot bores for me and I had to buy new studs and wheel nuts probably had $200 in materials. My reason for the spacers was row cropping spacing. Now if I can just get the tractor lifted to clear the crops for cultivating. bjr

There is a local guy that might be able to make me something, I was just checking here first to see what my options are.

Beenthere, are you going to use all 4 spacers if you get them from ebay? I would be interested in splitting the cost with you because I only need the rears. I emailed the seller my specs to see if they'll fit.

Thanks for the help guys.

I would be interested in a split.
But first need to find out the spacing to see if they mate up. Hope to learn that tomorrow when I stop by my Deere/Bobcat dealer.

I wanted spacers for my 2400. Got a sheet of ｼ" steel plate, and a section of 8" schedule 40 pipe. Drew a pattern from tracing the wheel bolt/hole pattern off my rear wheels and had the local machine shop cut me 4 discs. Cut the pipe to the desired spacing and welded it up. Total cost under $200 and would be half that if I had the scrap parts lying around.

Thanks Texasmark,
I am not that handy with welding although I have a friend who can weld. If the aluminum does not work out I will go this route. Very good idea.
Thanks again.
