You are correct, looks like they are adapters to a wider bolt pattern.Are they just spacers or adapters for a different wheel.?

1&1/2" spacers?
I had to drill the rim holes on my Super 12. Put the spacers on with Loctite. I had one come loose at Daniels plow day.I will have to drill out the rim bolt holes just a smidge, the studs are larger than older sears lug bolts. I picked up 4 of these spacers when we were on Bardstown last year at the peddlers mall for $20, can't beat that going on a GT. The other 2 will eventually go on the Sears 16/6.
What's wrong with Purple?
I do remember you having that problem. The way my spacers are made, I have to use hex head bolts and washer, factory bolts are too small. I got some long enough to thread through and put nuts on the back with a drop of thread locker. I will need to drill rim's just a tad.I had to drill the rim holes on my Super 12.

You stole them at 4 for $20.Rick
nothing is wrong with purple, my mustang gt that i bought 20 years ago is yellow. one day I pulled out the back seats and saw dark purple, I didn't realize when I bought it was repainted yellow. we did some further research and ford made about 4200 purple ones in 96, and mine is 1 of 37 convertibles with the options it has in it. and it also the 1st of the 37. so someday the plan is to have it redone in its original purple color.
Are they 1/2" instead of 7/16"? You can get those here:I do remember you having that problem. The way my spacers are made, I have to use hex head bolts and washer, factory bolts are too small.

Now I get the picture. It's the bolts for the spacer to hub you are using nuts on!Kenny, I think the Sears lug bolts are 7/16", but these adapters are drilled for larger lug nuts. The heads on the factory studs are small compared to the drilled seat on the spacers. I'm afraid they would eventually pull through as spacer metal is a little thin where the factory bolts would seat. I feel safer using bolts and putting nuts on the back of the hub. The spacers already have the 1/2" studs and nuts so have to drill trims out just a tad for them to slide on.

Do you know what the spacers were originally from?? .
Do you know what the spacers were originally from?? I have a pair of 1.625" spacers that came here on an AC B10... not sure if they belong there but they werent actually 'Needed' so I stole them and put them on my Bolens Ram.

If they were on a A/C B10, they were used to allow the A/C loader to fit on the tractor. That's why they were on it. The L10 and L12 loader frame was too wide to mount on the rear axle without the spacers
