Bow_Extreme 550 #5 Posted December 31, 2009 Very nice!! I would put the 16's back on the front. I like either wheel color. If you choose black wheels I would paint the rear wheel hub centers black too. Again, nice job and post some more pics when you get a chance, especially of the LED's and the other side of the tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 23,143 #6 Posted December 31, 2009 That looks great!! I like the black over the white rims but to be honest, go with the almond or linen beige color that they were fom the factory. Mike........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpmcleod 4 #7 Posted December 31, 2009 I think it loos good the way it is. I am having the same color problem as I have a tractor with black fronts and white backs. I have seen some of the Dukes tractors with black all around I like them all black. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don1977 605 #13 Posted January 1, 2010 I like the 18's on the front it just needs some 26's on the back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotrodmerc 1 #18 Posted January 2, 2010 Nice job I prefer the white/beige wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bo dawg 517 #19 Posted January 2, 2010 Now thats pretty sharp looking Randy I would rather have the 16's on the front with all beige color. Black looks kinda neat at first but I would think it would get old quick. The beige just makes the red pop! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
porkchop 1 #20 Posted January 9, 2010 I put the 16" tires on the front. I still can,t decide on wheel color but I,m leaning toward white because my other tractors are white and I can swap them around if need be. I put the 48" plow on it today and it worked great with the new agg,s almost as good as the c-160 with chains but not quite. I took a picture with the led 1156 bulbs because someone wanted to see them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scifi4all 6 #21 Posted January 9, 2010 Porkchop, As I was reading all I could think was that the 16's would look better and I believe the beige will look better. But, you beat me to it. Looks great! What brand tires are those 16's? I may want to get new tires at some point and those have an interesting tread pattern. I would love to get a 70's C-160 Hydro and rebuild it. Maybe someday! :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bow_Extreme 550 #24 Posted January 9, 2010 The 16's look much better!! The LED lights are awsome!! Did you have to put anything special in the wiring harness to run the LED's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
