I'm looking for rear wheel spacers for an L245DT tractor. I see they have them at Bro-Tek for an L245H but not an L245DT. I looked at the parts diagram for both tractors and the axel attachment is a different part number but I wasn't sure if they actually had a different lug pattern. Does anyone know if L245H wheel spacers would work on an L245DT tractor or if not is there another way to get spacers for an L245DT. Looking for probably 2" spacers.

What rims / tires do you have on it?
As most of the AG rims do not need spacers as you just change the rim and center to get the right spacing.
It still has the original rims and AG tires from the factory. They are installed for the widest setting. When I got it, it just didn't seem that stable and I live on a hill. I plan to fill the tires but was thinking 2" wheel spacers would give me a little more stability. Currently the rear wheels stick out past the fenders.

Can you post a picture of them?
The L245 was made with 2 different axle arrangements and they were different sizes.
It would be based on your serial number.
Give me that and I'll try and weed out the right answer.

Post a picture of the rear wheel rim connection to the wheel center. I think there may be some adjustments there also, but not sure what you have or what the L245 was supplied with.
If it is part number 34220-27660 for the center disk that fits 42 different tractors. That disk and rim combo should give you more width than you need probably-if you can figure out the right combination of the arrangements.
Serial #: L245DT-54321
Center to Center Lug spacing: 6 3/4"

I think that is as wide a stance as you can get with those. @North Idaho Wolfman can confirm or refute that statement when he chimes back in.

WOW!!!!
Ok to start with yes you have them as wide as they will go on the rims.
That already has a spacer or maybe an adapter on it.
You do not want to go any wider on that setup.
I'll also caution you on loading the tires, while that will help with stability, but because of the width your at now, it's going to add a huge load to the axles and bearings.
You would be much better of changing it to a wider tire and rim like my L3450
And in this pic they are set narrow, I have since swapped sides and made it much wider.

A R-14 or R4 tire would help you with stability as they are much wide footprint.
Could you suggest where to get a rim? Or maybe any farm tire supplier has both rims and tires?

First we need to figure out which rims you have, then I can tell you if other rims will fit it.
I'll work on it and get you more info.

I would not go any wider. You will have bearing trouble. This is a weak spot on this tractor. It looks like you have a loader that will add to the problem. These are great tractors but they do have their limits. It looks like the axles have been apart already.

@007kubotaguy
Do you know of any newer (R3 / R4 rims) that will fit the bolt pattern?
So he can put a wider set of tires on it and decrease the offset.
If I get rid of the spacer it will go back to the original bolt pattern too. ~6 3/4" C-C as sitting with spacer and ~5 3/4" C-C spacing without spacer. I really appreciate all the help.
