Almost looks like you could use them to make wheel weights, pouring cement around the assy. Otherwise, you got me!

It looks like a kit to move aftermarket wheel weights outboard of the simplicity center hub on the right axle, and also space the left one the same.

Now, has anyone ever seen a set?

The installation instructions are very clear about checking the wheel hubs for breaks or cracks, so as far as I can tell these were field installed on weak wheels that had a tendancy to break the hubs out.

The large ring goes on the outside of the wheel, and the half rings go on the inside to strengthen the center hubs.

The 2 extra holes line up with the original wheel weight holes so they can still be used.

Thanks Todd and Bob. Those instructions are what I have, but they don't really say what tractors or why.

Now I know at least the 6000 series used them. I will have to search the wheel part numbers to see what else. ;)
