Zeek 2,283 #1 Posted February 23, 2017 So I received my pristine NOS hub caps from a friend (non-forum) in Indiana. I am going to put them on either: 1972 Raider 12 or my 1966 1276 So if this were your choice, WHICH tractor would you put them on? Let me know what you think. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 51,017 #4 Posted February 23, 2017 I don't think you should use them on either one; they would look great on my Suburban! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPINJIM 1,972 #10 Posted February 23, 2017 I chatted with you last Friday at the Lebanon show about your 1276. It deserves the set of chrome caps. Jim 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,937 #11 Posted February 23, 2017 No brainer Zeek... definitely the 1276. Think I remember someone saying here... you could remove the clips, cut a slit length wise into a couple 1" pieces of fuel line... position a few of 'em around the caps perimeter, these will provide enough tension to hold 'em in the rim... and prevent scratching your rims all to hell when mounting them up. Worth a try. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kasey54 304 #12 Posted February 23, 2017 The 1276 for sure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thegearhead0324 1,199 #14 Posted February 23, 2017 1276 definately 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zeek 2,283 #15 Posted February 23, 2017 Thanks for all the input so far! Craig - I like the idea about the fuel lines . . . that was one thing I was trying to figure out with the "extra scratch clips". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimt1971 236 #16 Posted February 23, 2017 Left side on the one right on the other and always show them nose to nose. Then you only need one set. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,487 #17 Posted February 23, 2017 Zeet, I like both tractors without the hubcaps. That's my vote. Very sweet machines. Glenn 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmsgaffer 2,043 #18 Posted February 23, 2017 I think I would say the 1276 if I had to pick... but I think it would look best with the older style painted center chrome caps... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aldon 4,826 #19 Posted February 23, 2017 I would prefer Raider 12 of the two but I like the look of tractors as they are. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrblanke 840 #20 Posted February 23, 2017 Well, I'm thinking if you sell me your 1276, then I can put my NOS hub caps on it, and you can put yours on the raider. Then both WHs will have NOS caps! Boom, problem solved. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roadapples 6,980 #21 Posted February 23, 2017 Haven`t had hub caps on a car since the 60`s, don`t much care for them on a tractor.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 35,146 #22 Posted February 23, 2017 The 1276 gets my vote....luv that hood design. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACman 7,423 #24 Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) After much thought ...1276 gets my vote ! But with saying that I also think it deserves a grader blade to show off those hydraulics . Those are are some sweet machines and pics don't do them justice . They're truly stunning works of art seeing them in person !

Chris G 3,272 #25 Posted February 23, 2017 I think the 1276 would look good with them. But both machines are very sharp I must add. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
