Row crop tires?
Had my first breakdown on the new 106 today, one of the maypop tires on the front went flat. In this particular case, the tire, rim, bearings, and spindle are all pretty well shot. I had it apart the other day and did a quick fix to hold me through until it broke again. Now it broke again and it looks like I'll have to buy some parts.
The plan for this tractor is strictly Gardening. The plan is to pull a plow and a cultivator, and teach the kids how to row crop. To cultivate, I'd prefer the tallest and skinniest tires I can get, and the rear tires need to track directly behind the front. Looking for tips and tricks from the experts here. No, I'm not trying to install any kind of planetary gears, crazy lift kits, but if theres a size or pattern that you'd reccomend, please do. An extra inch of ground clearance will make w world of difference to my potatoes. I'm assuming that I'd be best with a tri rib front tire and an ag tread rear. Budget minded choices preferred. I need tires and wheels. I have 2 sets of turf tires, 23/8.5-12 and 23/10.5-12, I believe (they're standard sizes) on wheels. Which of those should get filled with washer fluid and used to push a snow plow in the winter and pull a sled at the fair? I have a set of chains. A set of the cheapest possible used wheels and tires for the front of the 127 would be great, too.

As far as tires, I would suggest the following:
Front: 4.00/4.80 x 8" Tri-Ribs Rear: 6-12 Ag's.

Bonus points if you're cultivating. More bonus points if you are hilling potatoes.

Roland,
[QUOTE=R Bedell;475043]As far as tires, I would suggest the following: Front: 4.00/4.80 x 8" Tri-Ribs I have a 149 - stock wheels. The front wheel is stamped and measures 5" wide. The tires on it were 16 x 6.5 - 8. Will the 4 x 8 work on that wheel, or do you have a narrower wheel on yours? Thanks,

Since posting, I picked up a set of the wider wheels with turf tires. I believe that they're 5" wide and 16x6.5-8, and one was missing a bearing, but not bad as a part of a $50 package deal for them, 2 snow plows, a rusty old deck, and 2 brand new 4.80x8 wheelbarrow tires. I installed a new wheel bearing in the wheel and put them on the 106, along with the plow, a couple weeks ago. We haven't had more than an inch of snow at a clip since I've owned a cub, but the wide turfs made a hell of a difference in control when pushing that little bit of fluff in 3rd gear on the street. I also noticed that they didn't tear up the wet grass as bad. These are definitely going on the 149 with the tiller if I can get her all together by spring.

3 rib front tires
Has anyone actually put the skinny (4") tires on the wide (5") wheels? My tire place said, sure bring them down we can make it work as long as you have tubes. The only 3 rib tires I can find in the correct/current size are the Firestone 300-652 and they are over $100 each (with shipping) vs. less that $90 for both with tubes in the narrower size. I'm quite confused. At this point an extra $120 on tires isn't going to break the bank, but I don't want to spend it on tires if I don't have to because I am certainly finding things I want/need as I am going along. Any suggestions / experience would be appreciated. Thanks.

Never tried to put narrow tires on wide rims. Might work.
what about these 5 ribs? http://www.millertire.com/products/i...70-60-8-6-ply/ I don't know of any cheaper 6.5 inch tri ribs than Miller's $80. You could put a pair of ags on for $80. See if you can find a pair of narrow rims cheap?

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.
