So do dealers now have to pull only from their 'assigned' regional warehouse?

Sure - but why can't Deere dealers see inventory worldwide & action it? Isn't that supposed to be one of their strengths & reasons why they're 'worth more' than brand X?
Well, it's semantics for me at this point. Got to wait around for Richard to return from vacation (Bro-Tek).

I called a competitor to my dealer and they said they are not available, been obsolete for two years.
My dealer has 5 stores, wonder if they had a supply at one of their stores, punched the number in wrong or what....it will be interesting to see what I end up with tomorrow.

OK, saga lovers.......
Richard from Bro-Tek is back from vacation. He agrees the cone seat wheel lug nuts provided with the Deere 2305 spacer kit won't work with the Deere 1023/5/6 tractor ball seat wheels. So.........
He is looking at changing the studs & lug nuts in the kit to match Deere's 1023/5/6 tractor wheel ball seats. To get a ball seat lug nut, first you have to have a metric threaded stud, so he will need to change from the 2305's 7/16" dia. stud to M12. There are no ball seat lug nuts in english threads. He is working on this now.
Then I showed him where he can get the M12x1.25-29 cone seat bolts to attach the spacer to the tractor hub. I bought these separately online.
So we are getting close to finishing the 1023/5/6 kit conversion from the 2305.....:applause:

Another decade or two and it should all be nailed down. :laughing: Glad you're getting it figured out, I'm sure you'll save a lot of people headaches down the road. :thumbsup:

Any update?
After installing the full complement of wheel weights (72 lb starter + 2 50lb wheel / 172 pounds per wheel) my tractor feels much more stable. I think a set of spacers would set it up just right.

Nothing more other than Richard asked if I had any tractor design info & pictures, & I sent him everything I know, including Deere's dimensional drawing of the ball seat wheel attaching bolt so he can get correct matching lug nut seats.
I am waiting for him to source, then update the kit he sent (originally for model 2305 non-metric tractor).
He said it will take some time to source this oddball combination, so my spacer kits will sit around until then.
Glad to hear your weights helped!
It has been so cold & snowy here I have not installed seat springs yet either, have only used the broom once. :thumbdown:

I have a 1025R would 2" wheel spacer work on it or should I go to 1 3/4". I have a 60" mower deck.
