Ive been looking into having my rears foam filled like a skid steer tire, no more flats or checking the air pressure and it add's some pretty good weight, from what i read a 23x8.50 will be about 70lbs when filled.

I don't think the ride would be any good. I've looked at that, but they are harder when foam filled. Besides, with CaCL2 my wheels weigh in at 100LBS.

Yea i was concerned about the ride to but i was gonna do it to my winter plowing wheels first to see how it is. Judging by the last picture you put up i probably weigh 60 pounds more than you so my tire can weigh a little less.

I use the regular silver anti seize on everything but just about anything will work, if i dont have anti seize i just use a little red grease.

I'm pretty sure that foam filled tires on a Cub would beat the operator to death.

I used to occasionally run a rubber tire Hi-lift, that had foam filled tires, it was the same way.

Not sure if it's the geometry, the weight distribution or just the nature of the beast of a skid loader but you don't notice as great a difference in foam filled vs air filled tires as you do with other equipment. There is a difference, and you can tell it right away, it just doesn't seem as bad. (this is based only on my own experience... your mileage may vary)

Thats why i want to try it on my winter wheels first, once i put the chains on it rides like crap anyway.

I will use a little grease on them for now as I will be tearing the tractor down for a full restore here soon. Just want to get all this goofy stuff out of the way while it is nice out and the beer is cold!

My tractor sits in my unheated garage all winter with the snowthrower on it. Even this past winter it stayed above freezing in there, the po could have had a similar situation. Personally I still wouldn't use plain water, but just a thought.

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.
