The second one took some working with once I started putting air to it, but it finally sealed.

I could have done that tomorrow, but I wanted them on "now", LOL. Plus my buddy and I do so many motorcycle tires that spooning them on and off isn't too hard anymore.

Good job DWayne, where did you find tubeless tri ribs?

I'm pretty sure all of mine are tube type.

Do you have tri ribs on anything else ? I have a set on a newer tractor that came originally with the wider rim/turf tire (not sure of size)it's got narrow rims with tri ribs and I'm not sure if it helps with steering... I have the original tire/wheels that came on it and planned to change them just to see. If they are about the same as far as steer effort the tri ribs still make a garden tractor look sooo goood !! You have a nice looking tractor, and the tires look great as well... now don't get them dirty

As far as oven I have used oven for curing paint, prepping metals, and very rarely cooking but I don't have a wife anymore I'm not sure if it was the oven or maybe just the ovens attitude fore no more wife reason ?

Thanks Todd, I just hate dealing with tubes, so a little extra work was worth it to me.

I don't have tri ribs on anything else, but I have had some other cubs with the V61's and loved those, but they are pretty expensive. I do know from having both wide and narrow front tires, I prefer the narrow tire for steering ease. I just also figured tri ribs as you say look good on these Cubs.

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.
