Hello. New the the forum. Thanks for letting me join. My question is, what is the original tire sizes ( front and rear) for a 108? Thanks in advance.

The rears would be 23x8.50-12 and the front would be 4.00-8 with the option of 16x6.50-8.

That is what the Brochures and Data Sheets say. I would have thought the 8.50's were then norm, not so.

I've only ever saw one 8/9 series tractor with 6-12's on it and that was an 86, i'm not debating that they were stock but it would appear the vast majority were upgraded to the 23x8.50 either from the factory or at the dealer.

I agree. I haven't seen a 1x8/9 tractor with 6-12's either. I actually looked at three different sources to confirm it, cause I didn't think it was right.

If it were mine, I think I would go with the 8.50's, if not the 10.50's.

I'd definitely go with the 8.5" tires if you're going to pull a plow. That said, 10.5" tires look great on my 169. In a perfect world I'd have a set of turf 10.5's and some ag style 8.5's.

Edit- Who am I kidding? In a perfect world I'd just get another cub. Or ten.

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.
