[cub149]

I got some time yeterday to mount the 26x12x12 tires on my GT rims using two tire tools/spoons and a vice grip. They fit the tractor pretty good and one inch is all I will have to raise it. I don't have a set of supers yet and still entertaining the idea of making my own. I will have to raise everything to keep the original lines. I'll likely weld on a piece of 1" tubing to the top of the frame and grind it down to look like the frame is one piece and not cobbled together. I don't have any front wheels yet but I did turn the GT fronts around to make a wider stance just to see about what it would look like.

I'm mainly waiting until I can get all the hyraulic lift parts so I can fit them and see if I can use the 149's lift lever or if I will have to go with an 82 series lift handle. I now know that I need a rockshaft from an 82 series. Will the control valve from a 149 operate the lift cylinder from an 82 series or cylclops, if it will I know I can use the original lift lever.
I think I have a name for it, 189 micro super or 189 MS for whatever it's worth. Oh well, it's fun and a good way to learn about other tractors in the process.
