ri702bill 12,808 #2 Posted yesterday at 09:04 AM Welcome! That is a rugged old worker that you have there.... Just an observation - AG tires are not the better choice for snow plowing. There are special "X" style chains available, but pricey. regular cross link chains tend to fall into the valleys between the cleats and end up not effective, Turf tires, filled with the proper fluid and full complement chains have worked the best for me. And a set of wheel weights make a difference too... 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 32,347 #4 Posted yesterday at 10:53 AM Nice tractor ! Looks like some one up graded your dash to a newer style. Not a bad choice, the lever throttle & choke are much more user friendly than the push/pull style. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the day they made good push / pull cables. Today,s are junk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Understand though if someone wants to keep there mochine original as possible. The 12's is a lot more fuel friendly than the 16's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
