Today I learned a few new words......
Today I learned some new words.....words like "You @^%#@!%^&"....and "Well for *&&#$#%^% crying outloud!"...and simply "$#@%$#%$## and your horse!".....
Now, I've mounted dozens upon dozens of motorcycle tires in my day. And a few ATV tires.......But I'm here to tell ya, you haven't lived until you mount those little diameter front tractor tires. And because I didn't have the proper Schrader valves to mount them tubeless, I decided to use tubes that were in them originally. This only made it about 1000 times more difficult! The rear tires took about 10 minutes each....The front, well over an hour each! Not sure how you could even think about doing this without a tire changing machine. Twice, I had my jacket on and was going to take them to Jimmy at "Dartmouth Tire".....But then I sat down and thought some more....Two pairs of vice grips and a strong back and I got them on! Now it looks like a PROPER tractor....... |

Now, who has the heart to tell you that you have the treads mounted incorrectly.
Just joking......hahaha......Looks really nice on your tractor. I have a set of those ag fronts to mount. Been sitting on the garage floor for years and just never got around to it. Let me know how you like the steering with those. Cub Cadet 123

You are right! Those small tires are miserable to mount. They are hard to hold on to work on them. Harbor Freight makes a small tire changer that works slick as a smelt.
Not too expensive either. I have one. Don't have to mount too many of the small tires to be worth the price. https://www.harborfreight.com/mini-t...mounting+tools |

Red Dave....Yes, I might need to get that version if this "Hobby" really takes hold.....
I had to modify my tire mounting machine quite a bit to handle the small axle hole and the small diameter of the wheel. Not sure how I could have got them mounted without the machine. |

Mounting tires is no problem, take them to the tire shop and let them do what they do best, no problem.

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.
