Default tires

what do you all think I should do? I have a restored cub original and it has the original rear tires they are pretty rough one has a chunk missing the front tires are wheelbarrow tires I want to plow with it. I found a good looking set of rear lug tires on Amazon and also some tri ribs what should I do all 4 tires new is 180 dollars they both have 5 star reviews do I get them? also the rear axle seal looks to be leaking there is always oil running down the right tire and making a puddle on the floor where do I get that seal this is the first older tractor I have had as my oldest is a 1980 782 and this is my first gear drive,thanks.

You can buy rear OEM style "snow tires" from M.E Miller tire in Waseon Ohio.
Personally I think OEM tires look nice on an origional tractor,

Be careful removing the old seal as to not wreck the bearings behind it with whatever tool you use to remove the seal

If you want to save the original tires for the vintage look, you can get inner tubes to keep them holding air. If you want to plow, I would get R1 Ag tires like Carlisle Farm Specialists or Destone D405. If you want to do both, you can probably get a set of spare rims from one of the vendors listed at the top of the homepage.

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.
