Tire clearance issues V61's

Recommended Posts

Goldnboy

I know a lot of members here run V61's on there tractors but I don't recall anyone mentioning that the mule drive can interfere with turning. 

I couldn't turn left fully without rubbing on te mule drive. So i added a 1/2" collar on the spindle  two machine washers and then inserted a bushing inside the rim along with a longer bolt and problem solved. However for those running newer machines that use a snap ring in place of a bolt this would not be a viable solution.

They fit without any issue on my C-195. Then again, that is a completely different animal mule drive wise.

What Mochine are you running those on? I put a set on a C160 but I havent had a mule drive on since mounting the V61's.

Well, I assume I would have clearance problems with the C160 also. I don't foresee using a mule drive on this tractor but was always nice to have options.:D

What year model do you have?  I know the 1976 and 1977 C-120 came with 5 3/8" wide wheels  I have seen some 1974 and 1975 C-120 with 4" wide wheels.

Here is mine on the C160 and they look like they have enough room for mule drive but I hadn't had one on this mochine in awhile. 1974 year model

I am using a 1974 C120 special with a toasted techy that has a Kohler magnum 12 take over.

 

The V61's are the smaller 16x6.50x8/170x60x8.. I didn't confirm my rim size but had 16x6.50x8 turfs on previously they leaked and had previously been slimed and which corroded the rims and required JB to fix rust holes.
