Default "DUBs'" for the Cub!! AND Radials!!

All the younger folk want DUBs' on their cars.

22s' instead of 15" wheels etc...

Well I got a set of 14" DUBs' for the Cub!!



The rims were offset so I started to make a set of wheel spacers.

Here they are compared to the 23x8.50x12 tires


Its cold so I thought, what if I reverse the center cap and just bolt them on backwards??



The new tires are 26 x 9.00 x R14.

Gotta keep up with the latest style!!

Oh yea, I set the pressure at 2 psi, the tractor can now put a load on the 10 hp at half throttle in first gear!! That never happened before!

The previous tires would spin before there was any indication the engine had a load.



They got a BIG footprint!!

Nice lol nothing wrong with dubing it up but also putting the power to the ground is where it counts! Either that is really tight clearance or fender rub according to the pic?

Got to love the larger wheels!!
A while back I bought two new 15" white wagon wheels/tires at TSC for my cargo trailer, I rolled them in the shed and leaned them on my sears tractor. A few days later I opened the shed door and the sun light hit the wheels and then the idea hit me, Ahh same bolt patern They never made it on the trailer!

I could take or leave the rims but the tires are nice. I am looking for a set like that for my 1572 super. The rims look better turned around backwards.

I think they look great! Much better turned backwards. Personally, I think they would look even more awesome if they were powdercoated CC white, with chrome lug nuts

I would powder coat them, but, I am not unmounting an ATV tire unless I have to.

Paint ain't have to.

Maybe spray in the spring.

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.
