Old L245DT that was my uncles. I bought it after he died and have just been waiting for this to happen. The rear wheel rim has rusted though at the valve stem. The cancer was bad enough when I bought it that it was deemed unrepairable so I have been waiting for this to happen.
Holy cow!?!?!?!?!? My dealer wants $374.15ea. for new 9X24 rims. He can't even get me a drawing of it to let me know if it will keep the same wheel spacing on the center disc as what I have (the old z-style mounting tabs).
I thought that getting new tires would be the most expensive part (11.2 10-24 ag) but it seems that I have miscalculated.
Questions:
I am pretty sure Kubota did not make these rims. Who did? What other tractors use the same rims? I will paint over other colors if I have to.
I have seen rims listed on e-bay with the bolt tunnel type mounting to the center disc. I would need new, longer bolts for that application, right? Anybody know how long?
I KNOW Kubota is special, but really, $374.15 a rim is kinda outrageous for a sub-compact tractor......... Or am I way off on this?
Surely, someone has been here before me. I look forward to some experience talking and setting me straight.
