Does it mean they would be unusable if return to stock? No worries. They'll be fine. The holes are 7/16" factory and need to be 1/2" for the lugs on all the spacers I've found. Often they're worn nearly enough anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,072 #6740 Posted September 23, 2020 Way to nice outside to sit at a desk and answer calls about furnaces so played hooky and used the C-195 to drag this parts 160 up for mafia work. This and another parts tractor was given to Dan and I by another mafia dude. Looky here what I found on it @ebinmaine. Guy said he wanted the spacers and rims back but I found 2" spacers on fleabay for 30 clams. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 66,582 #6741 Posted September 23, 2020 That's perfect Jim. Super similar if not identical to what I bought. I'm thinking you're going to do this anyway but just as a reminder be very conscious about centering all of the lug nuts as you tighten both the adapter to the hub and the wheel to the adapter. I say that because I found that one of my wheels was not quite straight after I had been using the tractor for like four or six months already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,072 #6742 Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) I noticed some of them have centering hubs, some not. These are just to see if I need to go 1 or 2 inches out. I even found them in our favorite color right here ! Edited September 23, 2020 by WHX24 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 66,582 #6744 Posted September 23, 2020 I think the closest I got was about 2 mm off which was enough to leave the wheel off-center so I centered it on the lugs anyways 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,424 #6745 Posted September 24, 2020 I had to open up my spacers just a hair to slide over the axle hub. I just filed a nice roundover on the inner mounting flange. After that they fit perfectly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jhook 849 #6748 Posted September 24, 2020 More work on the cab tonight. Plastic for the windows should be in by the weekend. Hopefully have it mounted by next week. Also have the factory carlisle turf trac rs tires off my 315-8 in good shape. If anyone in the western Massachusetts area wants them i will give them for free. Cant bring myself to toss them as they are perfectly good tires. I just dont need them since i switched to deestones 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greentored 3,201 #6749 Posted September 24, 2020 Started shining up the 655 today. Someone repainted it, I think with a roller lol. I went after it with 1000 to find what’s left of the original paint, then 1500 and a buffer. Killer patina, and sparkly. Very sparkly, like a holiday 5 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,102 #6750 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Funny how fragile many people think original W-H paint is now, or was back in the day. NOT! That my friend is how original patina is done. Looks great, and he sanded it people! Edited September 25, 2020 by AMC RULES 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
