Ags on 169

[Userj8670]

Hi all-

Been a minute since I been here; hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

Looking to update the rear tires on my 169 to ags. I really like the Firestones. My concern is what is the biggest tire I can run without concerns of rubbing on my 50" mower deck?

I believe the current tires are 23x10.50x12.

I found this pic on the internet and love the look and stance but I am not qualified to even guess the size.

Any help is greatly appreciated 😊

Those are my photos. I replied to your PM. I'm not 100% familiar with that mower deck but I think they'll fit.

Dan I saw your post/pics earlier on the Red Power forum and wanted to ask what those rear tires are too. I think I'm going to give my yellow/white 782 some love and a new set of tires like those would be great.

23x10.50x12.

That is the biggest tire you can run without any problems.

Here are some more photos. I use this tractor to plow with and mow. I have zero complaints about performance. I love the look of them. They don't tear up my yard while mowing and pull excellent while plowing. I grew up with Dad's 125 having firestone 8.5 ags so it wasn't a question which look I knew I wanted mine to have. I'd never hesitate to buy another pair again if I wanted AG tires for my other tractor(s). They are 23x10.5-12 tires on 10.5 rims. (I have another set of wheels with turfs and chains that I used to swap out when I used to push snow in the winter.) I got them from ME Miller tire in Wauseon Ohio. My family has been using them for years and they are our/my tractor tire supplier.

EDIT: the cubrat needs paint. I have to go through it again in more detail rebuilding the engine and replacing worn parts before I can paint it. I wanted to get good tins on it first and this is the stage it's presently in.

Thanks for sharing . I need to find a set of 10.5" rims then - this way I can keep the ags for summer and the turfs and chains for winter. Any leads ��?

That's exactly what I did.

Post a wanted ad on this forum. I got mine from John Bolens (SP?) out of Illinois. There are a handful of people that have salvage yards, there might be one in your area. I lean on Scott Urschel out of New Haven Indiana for a lot of my parts. If you are on Facebook look at marketplace.
