I never have gotten used to chains. They slide on the pavement and Chuck chunk chunk when driving

And those rims aren't going to cut it. So a quick click on Amazon and these arrived at the door two days later. Free shipping and two day delivery with Prime (and a good price). This gives me the weekend to get them ready

Looks great! Have you scratched it or dinged it yet? When you do don't worry about it, gives them character!

These are stock 23x10.5x12. Amazon has them for $104 free shipping (if a prime member). They will be tubed, and filled with washer fluid.

V61's will go on the front. The ridges make a big difference when the plow is at an angle and the front wheels need some side to side bite. Those will be here Monday, but I have to say the last set I mounted were a PITA to get on the rims!

The rims will get wire brushed, sanded, primed, and painted. The last set I sandblasted and powder coated, but this set is getting paint. My weekend project before going back to the regular work schedule.

My experience has been this works better for me than chains. Too often the chains just spin on the pavement, or on the hills around my lot when I hit a rock (lots of granite here) again the chains just slip.

Lets see if I can get them all mounted timely...

Yes its a worker, especially in the Winter, and yes already some dings.

Heck, at one point my 11 year old ran it into the back of my pickup. He almost got it turned, but just didnt hit the brake quite quickly enough. Its good development for them to learn how to operate equipment, even if it costs me a ding or two. My 9yo daughter is a natural.

With any luck in another year I can turn over all snow duties to them. (lol, we will be fighting for who gets to plow snow - good thing is we have neighbors they can each do one).

Happy New Year! (ha! I got that tractor back together in 2015...)

Great work Yeeter,
I have to confess, I stole, copied, plagiarized, your paint design detail. Really looks good. You are where I got my inspiration to do the 1650 you saw in my post. I too have a 782, but it has the Summertime block with the open block windows option.

Plagiarism is the highest form of flattery, have at it!

Thanks to this site, a trick to getting the bead to break on some stubborn tires. Then bolted a rim up to the tractor, blocked it, and wire wheeled it while it turned. Then some sanding, various wipe downs, and a coat of primer. It will interesting to observe these vs the powder coat and see how they hold up compared to each other.

Then took the tires into the furnace room to let them warm a bit (here in New England we have oil heaters and warm water pipes, so a good place to warm something up, like stiff new contrary tires to mount without auguring the rims into next week).

That will suffice at least until a couple football games complete.

Been around changing a lot of farm equipment tires but never saw that trick before! I'll have to keep it in mind!

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.
