Default Duals For The Loader Tractor.......

When I picked my Johnson loader from "ccpullin" aka Dave Harmon, I also bought a set of dual wheels off of a Toyota mini home. They have the same bolt pattern as the Cubs. The wheels are 14 inch so I had to come up with some tires. The tires are 7-14 Ags.
I picked them up from the powdercoater this week. Today, I have mocked them up on the tractor I'm using as a mock up platform for my loader.
What I like about the narrow wheels and tires is that the duals don't overwhelm the tractor. These duals only set out about 2 inches further than the original wheel with a 26-12-12 single tire.
One thing that is strange about this setup is the inner wheels are 5 1/2" wide and the outer wheels are 5" wide.
Here are some pictures of the wheels on the tractor.

Seems like a good trade off. I can put five Cubs where one car sat and there are no titles or license to fool with!
