What rubber you putting on? Lug tires?

Chris my cheeze curd eating buddy. How you doing? Don't know about the tires yet, I've got some real diggers from my ATV that I bought a few years ago and only used for a half winter. Their ITP Mud Lite XL tires, they have 1 1/8" lugs, but are 25x8x12 or the back ones are 25x10x12.
But the "tractor" style lug would look better I think, just don't know yet.

Thanks Tyler. So you're saying it would be a good idea with those tires? Because I don't want to mount them and not like em' and have to take them off and scratch up the wheels.

I personally like the look of them, and they bite really really well. I have 4 sets and I like them all. They dont look like real tractor tires but for free I cant complain. Let us know what you decide

From the remote cheese head to the real cheese head

I like to look of the big bulky conventional lug rears, but that's just me. They are pricy. I have to go back and look at your pictures again. Have been busy cutting wood for the house. getting the last of the garden in and tilled. Also the Jubilee has been keeping me hopping too.
Hope things are good Todd!
Regards,
Chris

Well I suppose you all thought I crawled back in the swamp and gave up on the 100? Sorry to disapoint, just taking a small break for now. Been Dr.ing for a few problems going on. Like two torn rotator cuffs and tennis elbow and trigger finger on thr left side, and a pinched nerve and a possible carpal tunnel there also.
So been laying low, kinda

But today felt pretty good so I yanked the engine from the 1650, does look like for one thing, a bad head gasket (someone) mentioned this before, but me giving it a half a$% look and it looked fine. There is also the issue of the mounts and steering needs fixing.
I couldn't find anyone around that would rebuild it for me, so knowing my Cub dealer a well as I do he said he would help me at his shop. Now we have two half apart tractors in the shop.
I'll get the 100's parts pained as soon as the weather cooperates.
Thanks for hanging arund for the past year (sept) either getting old, or slow, can't be both can it?

Hi all, not been much going on with the 100. Things been real slow around here. So instead of working on the 100, I went shopping for new shoes.
Got the BKT lug tires in 23x8.50's look pretty good, now "when" I get the rims and hood painted, it'll be done.
I started it a year ago Sept. can't rush it
