New rear shoes
Got a call from Miller last week that the tires I was hoping to purchase had come in. They arrived yesterday and I set to mounting them today.
I had wanted AG tires since 2012 when I bought my 147. I debated a long time about what to get as I use it to push snow with and I've been told ag tires and chains don't work well. I didn't really want a new set of turfs, and a used set is a dime a dozen. What I eventually came down to was: buying an alternative set of wheels, mounting the Ag tires to those, run them spring-fall, and keep the chains on the ag tires/wheels for winter. In the case that the turfs fail (I think they are original tires to the tractor) I can get another set of turfs, used, for cheap. I find them for sale all the time. I debated which ags to buy for a while, but knew I should bite the bullet and go Firestone. They work better (from what I've read) and they match the pattern that I grew up with on dad's 125. The new wheels were sorta rough around the edges, but that was OK with me as it's still in it's work clothes. However, I wanted to clean them up a bit. Let them soak with some evaporust for a few hours and I'm happy with the results. New valve stems (total PITA with that process, I had never replaced a valve stem and I kept thinking I was doing it wrong as I didn't have the tool to pull it through the wheel). I mounted the tires myself. That was fun....I put 20-25 PSI in them, and I don't think I got them mounted just right as I can hear air escaping the bead. (I mounted them tubeless) After consulting a few people on what PSI it takes to mount the beads, I probably will take them to a tire shop to have them do it so I don't kill myself. More pics to follow once I get the wheels mounted.

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.
