I put 4"×8"tri ribs on wide wheels no prob....i guess some maybe dont like it, but with the extra camber seemed to work out good and look and steer like a big tractor...or its just me...

Yes those tri ribs are nice. I installed 16/6.50-8 Firestone tri ribs from Miller tire, along with the super steer upgrade kit from David Kirk on my 149 and it steers just like power steering.

I wanted those too!!! just couldn't afford em...for foreign s#%t, i dont mind the deestones so much..at least the center rib is wider than the other brands ive seen...mine steers really well also, i bent the knuckles with 1" spindles a little extra (i like a little more camber especially for moldboarding) when i reinforced them, and did the thrust bearing also..

Being a Vietnam Vet, when my tires arrived and I seen they were Firestones made in Vietnam it kinda pi$$ed me off too. If I remmeber right, I paid 170$'s shipped for the pair. Being 4 ply, they were a little hard to mount. But they sure made a difference in the steering, especially when plowing snow.

garnold, No,I don't have a build thread or any in-progress pictures. I got my new bumper mounted and my new hubs,narrow rims and tri-ribs installed. I used the narrow rims (3-3/4") and the narrow tires (4.00-8) because my rear tires are narrow (27x7.50x14).

You are Welcome. I thought that they were made in Akron, OH. Yes a IHC 982 with a smoker is on my wish list to. Over the years I have looked at a couple, but they were out of my price range.

That tractor is awesome. You and your buddy Jesse are very talented. He is a superb welder and fabricator by the looks of that grill guard. I like both color schemes, prefer the 1st one tho. Beautiful work.

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.
