New tires!
 

Just ordered some V61s for the 1250. Wise choice? Go ahead, let me have it! :biggrin2:

Very bad choice. Tell you what, I'll pay for the shipping of them to my house and dispose of them properly. :biggrin2:

You will love those tires.

They are good looking tires, cant wait to see them on your Cub.

I couldn't have said it any better! You'll love the V61's.

V61s came today! Ordered them from M.E. Miller Tire Saturday and got them Tuesday!:bouncy:

Oh yeah, now I have to figure out a way to get them mounted!:bigthink:

looks good

Send them to me, I'll get them mounted and try them out for you :biggrin2:

Where did you order them from. I would like a set for my 1650.

M.E. Miller Tire in Ohio.

With that red stripe on the tire, you may need to paint the tractor to match!!

:biggrin2:

Good looking tires. Let us know what they do better than the previous tires!!

:bigthink:

They are going to look awesome on your 1250.

I find the floor, some big drivers, silicone spray and some choice words generally works well!

I'm the more take it to my local tire shop and spend a couple of bucks and have them do it person.:biggrin2:

The V61's are looking good!

Which might be one reason you don't have a big cut in your lip, and I do!

You're smarter than I am!

:biggrin2::biggrin2:

John sometimes the line between smart and lazy is a thin one!:biggrin2:

I do my own tires for the exercise!! :bigeyes:

Everything I do is for the exercise!! :biggrin2:

Keeps me away from the sofa.

This is my bead breaker. It works great.

It hasn't failed yet!!

I for one would like to see that bead breaker in action pics or even better a vid would be nice :biggrin2:

Me too! :biggrin2:

I was thinking about trying to mount them myself, but a guy at work is getting a tire and tube mounted at a mower shop and is going to get a price from them to do mine. If it's too much, I might try it myself. :NailBite:

The previous tires were "bald" smooth rib tires that were on the cub when I got it. :Unknown:

I just let the air out of the tire, then stand it up between the pusher and the press end.
(note the wood splitting wedge is removable/exchangeable and is on the ground)

The two flat areas just squeezes the tire to break the bead off the rim.

The rim is above the flat surface plate.

Here it is as a woodsplitter.

Not sure how much air pressure to use. I put 20 psi in the tubes. Any suggestions?
Waiting for my new wheel bearings to arrive, then I'll get the wheels back on the 1250. By the way, I used this tire changer from HF.

It worked great! Can't wait to get them on the tractor! I'm happy! :biggrin2:

The tire pressure should be listed on the side wall of the tire. I just ordered a set of these for one of my new toys too! I opted to get the free shipping to a local tractor show, but thats 1 month away so the wait is killing me. Yours are looking good though!

Can't find any mention of tire pressure on tire sidewalls. That's why I'm asking.

Max is 28 PSI with max load of 620 lbs. per tire

Thanks, I should be safe at 20# then and can adjust it as needed. But I won't go over 28#! :Salute:

the manuel says 6-8 pounds but my tri ribs have 18psi in them

Those V61's are looking good!

Nice tires and rims.How much was the tire changer?

The tire changer was on sale for $39.99. Not real heavy duty and some have said they broke theirs right away, but just use common sense. When breaking a bead, keep turning the tire and push, turn and push, you get the idea. Once it gets to a certain spot, it pops the bead. It worked great. I was well pleased. :biggrin2:

OK, once and for all, the tires are finally on! :Woo:

They look great on your cub!

Those look great. I have to definitely get a set for the 1711. I loved those on the other tractors I had with them.

Congrats! They look awesome!

Great lookin tires
Could we get some pics of the bead breaker you bought it looks as if it may be able to be fabricated with little effort sure beats a bumper jack

There's a YouTube video about it. Search for mini tire changer(Harbor Freight).
