Mike 0 Posted November 21, 2007 I put my Carlisle ags on the new tractor last nite, the problem is the lugs hit the cone clutch. Are spacers the answer? Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacey 0 Posted November 21, 2007 I've read where some guy removed it, but that was for a pulling tractor application. Probably not a good option for you. Tacey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatRarick 1 Posted November 21, 2007 Spacers would do the trick, but it sounds like your tires are too wide for the rims, causing them to balloon outward. Different rims are another option. On my HB-212, the tire chains didn't touch but came uncomfortably close to the fan shroud on the hydrostat. I had an extra set of rims here (believe they were from a Bolens). When I measured, the offset of the rims was 1" wider than the Allis rims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted November 21, 2007 Mike, my wife's puller is the one that are probably taking about. Originally I took the cone clutch off, but recently put it back on. The rims and lug I have on it, did the same. I made spacers, but with the extra wide and no offset rims, it still hit the "cone" of the cone clutch. I just took the "cone" off for now. I have two more spacers I'm going to put on, but need longer bolts. I don't need the cone clutch for the winter, so I'm going to leave it like that for now. If you don't have any plans on using the clutch, you can buy some time, by doing the same thing. Oh just to give you an idea on spacers, if you have an old axle laying around, cut off the two bolt patterns and blow a hole in the center of one. That is all I did for one of my sets. The other I made out of 1/2 stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tacey 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Those ags must be really wide compared to the stock tires. I just measured a little over 2" clearance with the stock turf tires. I was thinking of getting ag tires, but now I'm having second thoughts. Tacey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 0 Posted November 22, 2007 I just gave away a spare rear end, darn it. I will probably put the original tires back on. Personally I think the lugs look better on fdt's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeES 453 Posted November 22, 2007 Mike - I have Carisle 23 x 10.5 x 12 super lugs and they are smaller in diameter than the turf savers, and do not come close to the cone clutch. What size do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ronald Hribar 86 Posted November 23, 2007 I have 26x12x12's on my 7117. I have wide rims with standard offset. The tires were on the cone clutch. Could not start motor,as they put the brakes to the clutch. I used the dual wheel adaptor, bolted it directly to axle flange and reverversed wheels to bring tires closer to tractor. I had the dual wheel aqdpators on hand so it was easier than making spacers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted November 23, 2007 I have the same rims as Ronald. I have 23x10.5 on them, but the still would hit the outer cone of the clutch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 1,860 Posted November 23, 2007 That new soveriegn should have had 10.5's from factory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ehertzfeld 1 Posted November 23, 2007 These are the wide 10.5 normal offset rims that I had my 26 inch tire on last winter. The AGs are the ones I just picked up from Ebay. I have one of the spacers installed in this picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
