Thanks for the pictures Ronald, great tires, I went with Duro Lugs ONLY because they looked like the OEM Goodyears, they were rounder, and in some conditions, not pulling, I thought the Duros would be just as good. I'm using the 26x12-12s, they were 189.00 a pair delivered to my door, I bet the Tru-powers cost a little more. Sweet, cant wait to see them mounted

That is some serious rubber on an even more serious tractor. If I had that it would be stuck somewhere I never should have been with it!:D

it was purchased as a cub cadet

I rebuilt it

still using the cub cadet sunstrand Hydros rear ends

because of their heavy axle assembly

new steering setup with its own pump

thought hydro did not supply enough volume

put foot control for hydros

both have to be syncronized

widened loader and added power trip bucket

and it is detachable .

There are times I do not want it on

again it has its own pump

the articulating portion was rebuilt

with heavy duty components

and a heavy load will still pick one rear wheel off the ground

added electric clutch in drive train

so starter does not have to turn over 2 hydros and loader pump

I still have to wire that into system

so the foot clutch disengages everything

and add two transmission coolers

because Ceb used fans on driveshaft

and i do not have room for them

and it still is going thru shake down tests

use it and find weak point

Tires are a major improvement

traction a big factor

and hoses have to be reouted so they do not leak

It is a work in progress

I have been working on it for several years

I had the person who widened the wheels mount the tires

Gave specific instructions on what I wanted

He is a garden tractor puller

But he had problems seating the bead

Would not use ether trick

So I have 4 tubes in now

Defeats my 2 valve stem system

Lookin' good, Ron! I know you have used many parts and pieces from multiple tractors for your fabrication. It will be great to see it in person when it's all complete!dOddOddOddOd

id="quote">I'm pretty sure bead. We've had problems from mounting. Have had tires off rims and reapplied lots of sealer around bead. Leak is slower. Son in law captured the B210 for winter snow blading. Tractor sits spring to winter and tires are flat again he says. BTW I am impressed that you two can focus your mischief into something as powerful looking as this. sm03
