I'm coming in on the home stretch with the 73 project. I'm almost ready to start assembly. It's now coming up about new tires. I want to get new ag tires all the way around. What are some of your thoughts on this? I'm using the skinny rims on the back and new tri-rib tires and rims on the front. What have you guys used in the past.
Also, I'm planning on putting the daul wheels on the back again. What is the correct way to mount dauls? I've seen a ring between the two wheels like a daton truck wheel, or a actual axle extension the bolts on to the wheel. Any thoughts on this?

if your going to be running duals id suggest deestone ags, the carlisle's are nicer but it will get expensive buying 4.

There isn't a "correct" and "incorrect" way to mount duals. Abrola has the spacers that bolt to the hub. They do provide true power to all of the rear tires directly, but the IH spacers are a challenge to find (at least for me they are, but probably not for my Uncle Lewy), and costly (around $200). I used the ring spacers on my O, which does not provide true power to all rear tires, but it does keep the mud/snow out of the inner rims and is quite less expensive around $35. I have reversed my inside rims to give a more stout appearance and allow a tighter fit for storage into my garage. It really is up to you on personal preference. Another factor is who will be on the tractor. My O does not have fenders and the tires are close to the driver, so I am very mindful of loose clothing when I ride it so it does not get caught up in the tire, so no fenders is not a good idea for little ones EVEN IF THEY ARE HELD AND WATCHED. Always think safety as you are equipping your tractor/implements.
Life is not about making the right choice, no one ever does. Its about making the choice right, so just consider safety and then application/use, along with what your budget is. Here are some pics of my ride for your consideration: Cub Cadet 123

Yup, definitely a fan of the deeststones. Only thing that kinda bums me out is that they aren't US made. Off topic but I like their front tri ribs better than any brand I've tried.I really like the looks of the duals, that is a tough looking 124. I do however like that Original with the tighter spacing that Cubcadet123 showed, solely for storage reasons. Good call on the safety aspect

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.
