Default Tire delima
I picked up a 1615 and fixing it up for a yard tractor only. No deck.

Someone replaced the original front rims with 8 inch gt rims and 16. 650 x 8 tires

Should I. Leave them alone? Or....replace with original size 6 inch rims. 15. X6 tires? Which I have. The bigger tires look "ok" but I like original stuff.

Are the rear tires the standard size ? If it was my mower & I was going to use it,,, as long as it cut the grass neatly, I would leave those on there. Once the tires get worn, you can change it back to original . Or, if it " bugs " you that it is not original, get the right size, & sell/trade those.

Back tires are 8 inch rims also so I thought 8 inch up front would look odd.

If it's just a yard tractor, It would look better like that. (IMO) If you put a deck under it,and start mowing with it. Then I might consider the swap back to 6" front rims & tires.

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.
