Dutch Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 ..... or anyone else who runs oversized tires. I installed 25-10.00x12 tires on a 712S. Predictably, the seat deck wouldn't clear. So, I made up a pair of Q&D (Quick & Dirty) 2" hinge extensions. Before I spend time designing and bending suitable brackets, how do you guys achieve deck clearance? Mike, I directed this to you because your tractors always look sharp (not hacked) and I know you run monster pulling tires. [img]/club2/attach/dutch/1st-run-2.jpg[/img]
HubbardRA Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Dutch, This exactly what I did on the 61 Wards to install the 23x10.5 tires. I had 26x12 tires on the AC716H chassis at one time, I think that on that one I used longer bolts and put spacers in the front where the latch is. That has been over ten years ago, I might be suffering from brain fade. On my Wards setup I used two bolts on one end of the flat steel so that it only pivots where it is supposed to. I didn't want use and vibration to cause movement since there is no front latch on the Wards.
Ryan Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Looks good to me. I can't run anything bigger than 23x8.50-12 on my b-110 for the simple reason my tires stick out past the rototiller.
Rob-B Posted August 6, 2003 Posted August 6, 2003 Helo Dutch, When i first started tractor pulling with my girls they fit (26X12X12) on my big ten perfectly. no mod. needed. but on the 2112 i did exactly what you did and left it like that. maybe it wasn't quite 2" and same idea. rob
