Default Tire Question
I bought new tires from Miller tire, great place.
I took 1 of the rear tires off to see what it was going to take.
The rim was as expected inside(od of rim), rusty, a little pitting.
There was also a tube, but the valve stem looked like a tubeless valve stem.
I am wondering what you guys have done in a similar situation.
FYI- for my 122.
I plan to wire-brush the inside, prime, and paint. But not sure if I should put a tube back in, or get a valve stem and go tubeless.

Pictures will definitely come after I'm done. They look sweet

I would go back with a tube if you plan to put fluid in the wheels. Also, depending on how badly the rim is pitted, it might leak, and a tube would prevent that.

I brushed and painted two front wide rims. Told the garage that was going to mount the new miller tires I wanted tubes in them and gave them the tubes. WHen I got back they said that they were sure the rims would hold air. One keeps air, the other leaks down overnight. Now I have to air the tire up every time I want to drive the tractor. I recommend tubes.

If you were to use calcium chloride to fill the tires then run a tube because it will eat your rims in no time flat. They have a new product called "rim guard" it is made from Beets, it is nontoxic and its not corrosive. I run windshield washer fluid myself, its cheap, readily available and non corrosive. You don't need to run a tube with these...

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.
