Had been looking for a set of wheels to go with my deestone
Tri-ribs I bought recently. Couldn’t find many affordable options so I took a chance on some wheel barrow wheel/tire combos for $20 each at tractor
Supply. Bought them and pulled the rubber off and put the deestones on and I couldn’t be happier! Also loaded up the plow and the generator in case of snow
or power outage! I love my cub!

Seriously, looks like you will be ready for anything.
I just stumbled upon your response! Made me laugh!
Yep, you should see the garage now! What a mess!
The 102 hasn't been touched in weeks.
The 100 is down for parts and on jack stands. Needs 2 front tires and I need to finish cleaning the gas tank.
The 982 is in the other shed, waiting for the deck to come back from our local welding shop, but it is running fine.
My LT1045 is down for steering parts (horrible "toe-in" issue. I think it was in a crash).
However, my SLT1054 needs nothing (my regular LT).
My side of our garage is full of Cubs.
I want so bad to "take over" my wifes side!
Cheers!

They're calling for snow this weekend, and my 147 is in need of repairs, so I put the turfs and chains on my 126 tonight.

Default The 105 lives again!

I know it didn't happen unless there are pictures, but I promise it did. I had some time to work out in the shop today and thanks to my loving wife's christmas gift it was a balmy 60 deg. She got me a heater, 10 deg out side and I was working in a tee shirt. I got all the oil and hydro fluid, filter etc. Had issues with no spark, I checked everything out and was getting stumped then I checked the ignition switch. Brand new and it is bad, no power to the coil in the start position. Ran a jumper and it fired right up. Still need to finish up the seat but had to take it for a spin. Runs great and no leaks! I am stoked. I will post up some pics after I get the seat completed and mounted. I couldn't have done this without this site and it's collective brain trust.

Static timed a new rebuilt engine for the 1650 and dropped it in the chassis today. Dumped in a little gas and it was running almost before I could let go of the key. I think I will break it in by mounting a QA42A on it and give it a workout, then re-torque the heads.

Nice and smooth, gonna make a great tiller rig to replace "old smoky" the 1450 that's done that chore now for the last few years.
It will be on the overhaul list next fall.

Hey Woodtrucker - can you tell me more about your front tire trick? I've been struggling with the idea of paying over $100 a piece for the Firestone tri-ribs. I see a couple wheels on ebay (16"x4" - 8" ID - 3/4" Bore) that sound a lot like what you did. Did you have any trouble getting those tires mounted? Thanks.

I went to tractor supply and bought wheel barrow rims which had the
Cheap Turf Tires and tubes installed.
The rubber is cheap and very thin. Wouldn’t recommend using
That rubber but they are supposed to be rated for 350lb each.
Due to thin rubber, they are super easy to remove though. I bought a new set of brand new deestone two ribs and stuck those on the front rims and tubes.
Just be careful you don’t puncture tubes with the couple screwdrivers you’ll need to use. Worked like a charm! I even scuffed and painted them black.
You can get them in grey or white.

Rims are $20 each
And 2 deestones were shipped to my door for $39.
So $80 will do it.

It’s a little different. I have another set of wheels I plan to put turf tires on that will be done up in white. For the more original look.

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.
