In all honesty you can use other material or make your own.

Hey Jessie --- no offense meant. I only threw it out there for others if there were more needed that what you have available.

The M63228 or M63229 are used on virtually all the Deere sleds. Again, if Jessie doesn't have this, I have an M63228 available and have a few M63229 that are same except with square holes instead of round. It appears that many people have been using these interchangeably but others can chime in too if needed.

But in all honesty the NOS cork shrinks with time and does not fit. I even tried soaking one in water a few years ago without success. Not that hard to make if you have cork material.

In my experience the round holer's (M63228) are a bit larger in both OD and ID. The bolt circle diameter is a bit larger also.
