And the fronts got a similar treatment.

Then paint, and another coat on the rears for good measure.
The rims look better, but right now my tractor is shoeless!! ![]() |

Ready for loading. They werent too bad to get on the rims, but I remember the V61's being much more difficult so am going to see if I can find someone to mount those for me.
Then, per the tricks on this site, used a piece of gas line and a garden sprayer and pushed 5 gal of wiper fluid into each (tubes). I have to say, that garden sprayer trick worked great and minimal spill. Can definitely recommend this approach. |

Because there is no substitute for weight, a couple more bolted to each wheel. Pretty hefty. Mounted them up and now just waiting on the fronts to arrive and I will be back in business.
The thing about tires is, you just have to pay. By far my biggest $$ outlay, but choices are limited and at least they should be good for a few years. Pretty good progress on the last remaining rusty area. Heck, at this rate I will just pull the sheet metal some weekend and have at it. (hmm.. I bet I have enough spare laying around to have a working tractor while I finish the sheet metal. And after all, a set of stickers came in the mail a couple days ago so thats motivation. ![]() |

btw - what do you guys like to use for tunnel cover machine screws? Those 12-24 flanged head screws are a little hard to locate.

Yeah I was looking at some today. You can order them from McMaster Carr, Wasn't around 5 or 6 bucks for a 50 pack. Don't really need that many but thats the way it works. ON mine the 1650 Dad had run a 1/4-20 tap through the holes on that one, the 1450 seems to still have the #12 screws for it. I haven't even looked at the 782

Hmm.... the local tractor dealer quoted $36 each to mount the front tires. So $72 for the pair (am guessing tax on top of that). Seems kinda spendy.
Just dont think I can get them mounted. The last set I took to a mom/pop auto shop and they did it for $30 but said it ended up being two of them for over an hour to get them mounted. (they dont fit on a standard tire machine) Would love to hear any tricks from someone who has actually mounted V61's by hand... |

I got the harbor freight mini tire changer for Christmas. I heard it was worth the money and not expensive either. Going to give it a shot soon, thinking guys on here have used it and have reviews

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.
