First Year/ Model Cub Cadet w/23 10:50x12
 

Hi,
What Model or Year was the first that you could get or have dealer install the 23 10:50x12 rear tires? My Dad bought his 126 Cub Cadet when it was a year old. It had the what I call the town & country tread rear tires. He at some point installed tractor tread rear tires/and maybe wheels too 23 10:50x12. My question is if I remember correctly it had 23 8:50x12 rear tires or could it have had 23 10:50x12 ? I want to find a pair of the original tread tires to put back on it.
Thanks

I believe the Model 169 (circa 1974) was the first one to come standard equipped with the 10.50 X 12.
Your 126 would have come with 8.50 X 12 as standard.

A 106 thru a 147 and a 86 thru a 129 had them also as an option, when equipped with a 48" deck. see picture.

Thanks
 

Thanks to both of you. I appreciate that. Dads 126 always had a 42" deck so I guess my memory is correct that it had 23 8:50 X12.

Hi,
I've been trying to print those off but I cant get them clear enough to print larger/clearer. Any suggestions. Thanks

Hi,
I cant get these brochures clear enough to see, but does the 126 brochure actually list the 23 10:50 x 12 rear tires as an option on this brochure?
Thanks!

No.
23x8.50-12 was standard for the 126
6-12 was optional for the 126

Hi bill682, Thanks for the clear picture of that brochure. Does anyone have any proof or documentation of the 126 option of the 23 10:50 x 12 rear tires ever even with a 50" mower deck? Thanks!

OOPS bill682 I missed seeing what you wrote above the enlargement, so there was never a option for the 23 10:50x12 for the 126. Thanks
