T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,512 #1 Posted September 20, 2016 I made these stud adapters to make changing rear tires on my garden tractors a bit easier. Just take a couple of fine thread 7/16 bolts (7/16-28 UNF, I believe) and cut off the heads. Screw them into the hubs finger tight until they're snug and it makes aligning and mounting rear tires a lot easier. 11 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wedge 80 #2 Posted September 20, 2016 I MAKE THOSE ALL THE TIME FOR PUTTING TRANNYS IN. ONE OTHER THING TO HELP YOU IS TAKE A HAK/SAW AND PUT A SLOT IN THE END SO YOU CAN USE A SCREW DRIVER TO PULL THEM OUT IF THY STICK . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't believe I have been struggling with these rear tires on mine ---my poor old brain couldn't see the woods for the trees...thanks much for the tip--best one I have had for awhile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You only need one, then turn it to the top and the others line up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I taper the head then cut a slot for a screw driver, makes removing the stud much easier. I posted this tip a couple of years ago. Used one stud positioned at 12 o'clock.

Curmudgeon 28 #8 Posted December 31, 2020 I went one step farther. Screwed Grade 8 bolts through from the back, fully converting them from bolts to studs and nuts. MUCH easier. Also gave me a nice option of fancy lug nuts to dress things up a bit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
