Anyone ever make a set of adapter plates to put wheels on your tractor that weren't originally designed for it?
I ran across a full set of turf tires w/ Kubota wheels for $113! (Ebay) The lug holes are close to the same size as mine as well as the pilot holes but they don't match up perfectly. Rather than mess the wheels up I've decided to make an adapter plate to mount to my axles then mount the wheels to.
Has anyone done this before? I'm just curious. I don't see any real problems with it but maybe I'm overlooking something.
The tractor is 4WD and the ratio between my current tires and the new ones is almost exact (I have Bridgestone Farm Service Lug M on currently and the new ones are Firestone Turf & Field). I contacted Bridgestone/Firestone when I bought the tractor over a year and a half ago to find out the RC of the rice tires in the hopes I could get a deal on a set of R3's. Well I did but it took me 18+ months!!!
I'll be picking them up in 3 weeks so I should have pictures by the end of September.
