Default 1050 went to narrow wheels

I set up my 1050 for garden duty. I hate plowing with big fat tires. Sure, it floats a bit better, but the skinnies fit the dead furrow so much better and I think gives you better ability to steer within the furrow. I have 6-12's on the rear only because they were sitting and the tread works ok for plowing. I want to go to 8.50 lugs on the rear.

What do you think? Don't make fun of my rusty tractor, lol. I'll paint the rims before I mount up a set of tri-ribs.

On a second note, why is it that the simplest of things take so dang long?!?!? Took me nearly all day to take those spindles off a QL I have. I just wanted to easily put the narrow tires on the front, and I don't care that the spindle is the 3/4" one. I'm not carrying weight on the front, so NBD to me. The king pins were stuck on the QL, and one on the 1050!! Oh well. It's done now! And the front end on the 1050 is lubed up good and working well. Even turns stop to stop!! I'm happy, but I'll be happier when the rims are painted and a new set of tri-ribs installed!
