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?

Do narrow rims fit right in place of the wide, or is some modification required? I think the narrow may be closer to the look I'm going for? I tried to buy a couple this week off Craigslist (from a 100), but I guess he didn't want to do the deal. :-(

Completely, exactly interchangeable for that era of tractors. (NFs, WFs, and most of the QLs) The narrow rims have same width hubs and same size bearings. Bearings on later QL tractors did vary, and the Original had bushings, not bearings.

I will keep my eyes open, thank you for the information. The wheel thing seems to a bit confusing to a lot of us that are "newer" at this. Thanks!

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.
