IH CC 70 Front Tire Options, Opinions?
Hey all. I’ve been thinking about what tires I want to buy for my IH Cub Cadet 70. Was wondering if some other 70 owners could post pics and if people could share opinions. Here are the links to the options I’ve found as far as tread patterns go. The original looking Firestones are out of my price range though I think.

I forgot to include that option. I’m considering it. That one sure would complete the tractor look in addition to ags in the rear.

The first link for the front tires is what I went with on the front. They work very well on turf and have traction without putting ruts in the ground (I am not using them for traction to plow so tri-ribs may be good if you plan on that). I initially balked at the price of the firestone's and ordered the carlisle rear ag tread. They got delivered, I took one look and said hell no that's going to make a mess of several places on the lawn were it can get a little mushy and might slip. I quickly returned those and ordered the firestone 6-12 and am happy about getting them. Mine had been restored some time ago and still had the original tires on all wheels, unless you are using it like a farm tractor I don't think the tires are really going to see much wear and should last maybe 15? 20? more? years. They look great and have a great turf tread that unless you take too high a slope and spin out are very good on the grass.
Order tubes for both tires, my local lawnmower guy swapped the tires for me since I don't have a hydraulic press or the good upper body strength you really need to put on those thick tires. We both initially thought the rears would be fine without tubes but the 4 ply's are so thick and heavy he wasn't able to get them to seat well in the rim to fill them with air, and they had to have tubes to seat the bead in. I couldn't find tubes that had the thicker valve stems that would fit the rear rims so you need to buy these little nylon bushing adapters that fill the large stem hole down to the more common smaller valve stem.

Ironman, is that an original seat or one you modified to fit on it? I need to find a backup seat for mine while I strip the paint and see if I can get a welder to repair the cracking to mine before it gets too bad or breaks on me.
sorry for derailing the conversation. Quote:

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.
