Cracks in inner wheel disks

[VTSugarMaker]

Hello Guys,

Bear with me, this is my first post. I've had my L4610 Kubota for over 10 years and the things been a work horse since day one. I've got a LA852 loader on the front, woods ground breaker back hoe, Farmi Jl501 winch and John Deere brush hog.

The tractor rarely sits and seems to be always on the move as I love to work in my sugar bush.

Recently, I've noticed that there are spider cracks that have developed. The cracks are on the inner disk of the two piece wheel, stemming directly from the studs on the hub.

I'd like to replace the inner wheels disks, however, I can't seem to find any online. The dealer wants astronomic money for new disks and insists that they do the work.

Can anyone suggest a place I might be able to source new inner disks? Is there an aftermarket company who makes them? I've thought about pulling them off and welding them myself, but I think the holes in the inner disks have been oblonged from running the tractor for a long period of time with cracked inner disks.


Thanks

If you can't find what you're looking for these guys make wheels for all kinds of equipment. Quality work at very reasonable prices.

First time I used them, about 15 years ago, I went in with a couple of 15" tires/wheels off of an 8' brush mower. I wanted them to put airplane tires of the wheels to eliminate thorn problems.

They had the wheels made up, airplane tires mounted, wheels painted and valve stem guards welded in place for $50 each. I figured the tires would cost more then that. Been using their service ever since!!
