Default Cheap front tires

I've found these tire to be a perfect choice for the front of our narrow frames cubs. For $14 plus shipping you can't go wrong...

I bought some cheap wheels like that. They were fine till I had a flat..... Then I bent the out of the rim trying to get the tire off. They were about 1/3 as heavy as the original wheel. I'd prefer to pay more and get a little better quality. Just my

I run slime in my fronts to help with flats but for the price I can put the originals back on whenever the day may come....

You might check the distance between the bearings to make sure they are the same as your Cub Cadet.

The spacing is perfect, the bearings are on the cheap side but they are replaceable and the ones out of your stock cub rims fit these.

That's a great lookin' tire setup. If somebody was on a low budget, and didn't have any heavy lifting to do, I think those would be great. Especially if you have multiple cubs and just want get one off the jack stands.

Agreed! I may grab a set for my 73 that I'm just tooling around the property with and running once in a while. Thanks for this post

Don't think you can even buy a tire alone for that price. I'd just pack the hub full with grease and run them till the die.

I swapped out the bearings with my old ones I feel better using them. I'm running them on 2 tractors and if I need another front tire for one of my other cubs I'll replace them with 2 of these. You can't buy a replacement 4.80 tire for this price, so getting a tire and a rim for $14 is a no brainer.... Here is a pic of the cheap bearings that they came with. I also run slime so I won't be much help when it comes to leaks.

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.
