Default Front tire help

Wanting to put 3 rib tires on my 122 and need to know what size rim I need. Right now the tire on the tractor is 16x6.5-8. What do I need to look for to find the smaller, narrower, rim?

The typical front wheel that is narrower than what you have was the 4.80/4.00 x 8 front. Seen on numerous Cub Tractor models.

I purchased these from Miller. Deestone 4.00-8, tubes, and 8-3.75 wheels. I got them to put on the 782 until I realized it had 1" spindles. Fit the 102 great!

Take a file and clean up the inside of the rims real good or your tubes won't last long.

i put deestone tri ribs (4.00x8) on rims that had 6.50s, (wider rims) works just fine with a tube...along with the extra camber i added it works real good for plowing....(moldboard) and for snow.....

The narrow tri ribs with nothing on the front of the tractor will seem like you are riding/steering on air. I measured a set that wasn't mounted yet and I think the surface area that was in contact with the ground measured 1" x 5/8", but that is going off memory and it sure isn't what it used to be. Of course, you could go with the narrow ags, as well!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
