Those look really great! Certainly give it more of "tractor" look and more grip on the turf. I agree with Jonathan about painting them with just the rims, but I totally understand why a person might not, as I have run short on time and said, "Oh, I'll paint them later....". Its just easier to do when they are not mounted. Miss Deltacub and others have a really great suggestion on loading them up. No that you have some extra grip, might as well make the most of it!! Glad your "ship" finally came in......

Looks great Daniel. I use Jon's method and squirt some dish soap around the bead and then bounce them around like a basketball. As he said too, pump them up to 30psi and they should pop.

Stick tubes in 'em and fill 'em with W/S washer fluid. About 6 gal per tire is what mine took, raised the weight up to about 77lbs each. on my 10.50's
I built a standpipe from 4" ABS pipe with an outlet at the bottom and a valve stem at the top. Takes about 4psi to shoot 'em full. just be sure to capture the valve stem while filling to avoid loosing it inside the rim while filling. Takes about 5 minutes per tire, piece of cake. Wal -mart has the fluid for about $1.80/gal when on sale

Looks really good.
Maybe a thin coat of some clear to keep the rims from re-rusting quite so quickly (or at least a good coat of wax on them). Great looking cub!

I took the tires to a local tire shop to have them seated. The guy said that he had a tire explode once while seating it between his legs (to which I responded that's why I'm letting you do it!). He put them in a cage; then they were seated and aired up for a very Lew price. What it really did was save me peace of mind.

Lew's gotta eat too! I've seated car tires and it's never been my favorite thing. I'd be glad to let someone else seat the beads if it was affordable! Good call...

Mounted the wheels to the 147 today. I like that I have an alternate set of wheels to throw on in the winter, keeping the turfs with the chains and weights. Having grown up with that tread pattern on Dad's 125 it is great to make the impression again but this time in my lawn. I'm super impressed with the way it looks now. Originally Dad bought the tires he has because the turfs he had wouldn't climb the hill that is his front yard.

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.
