would agree, pepper pot mufflers are a little bit too much bang, especially running a 16 horse one lunger all day.

You're messing with me right? You know I hate those things!!! They're basically just a spark arrester.

Yeah this one was loud even for the operator all day.  A stack should mellow it down quite a bit.  I enjoyed having my noise cancelling muffs!

I'm no fan of stacks either. Just looks funny to me like it doesn't belong. 

Those little Gravely mufflers work very well with good tone and fit in tight. They look like this

Commando 800 10” rear wheels and matching 1” hubs fit pretty alright!  I’ll need to add a grease zerk and proper shims for the cotter pin but it rolls nice in the barn at least!

I have these Carlisle 18” tires for a 10” wheel.  They should work well mounted backwards!

Honestly, I might not even need to flip the axle, this would give the tractor a bit of caster to help with steering as well.

If I want even more tire height, I can run a 6-12 and flip the axle like we discussed previously.

I think it would look great with a set of 4.00/12  3 ribs on the front, to go with the tall & skinny rears.

I looked at the info I had in my notepad for my Speedex 1631 and see that the front tires on mine are 4.00x12 F2 tri-ribs..... good call, @Streetrodchev

I don’t mind the track width.  Looks four wheel drive now!  Maybe three wheel for now…  :lol:

They look way better than the 4-8’s if you ask me!

I must say, I love the way this looks as a faux 4x4!  I’ll probably end up turning the tires backwards as indicated in this video.  They always seem to steer better in my experience.
