Just ordered a set of rear tires tonight. They are identical to the ones Nightow1 has on his 782. These particular tires are labled 26x12-12 manufactured by Duro. However, they are much smaller than the Carlisle true powers and similar, name brand ag lug tires. I have been very impressed by their performance on the 782. They also look more proportional vs the dinky 23" tires, and huge 26" tires respectively. In all reality they measure closer to a 24.5 x 10.5-12...
Nightow1and I took one of his over and stuck it on dads 1864. With nothing more than 1/4" between the tread and fuel tank, the whole shebang (fenders, foot rests, fuel tank etc...) will need to be raised about 1 1/4" to give a reasonable gap. We also talked about putting a "skid plate" under the tank for a little more protection.
Im going to Lincoln Tuesday with the wife to get a bunch of rockshaft and hydraulic stuff from Surplus Center. If it works out, I am going to bring the 1864 pallet into the shop and get the frame bolted to the rearend.
Then I can finally get to work on this thing!
