Kelly 1,033 #1 Posted July 29, 2010 Well I got the new tires mounted last night so tonight I put them on the 520, 26x12x12's on the back and 16x6.50x8's on the front, I had to raise the rear fender 3/4" to clear the tires, and with the gear reduction steering and the tri ribs it steers like it has power steering, sets a bit taller too, I used basically trailer hubs on the front, with golf cart wheels. Just about ready for the show, I pieced this tractor together from a few I had, and just last week finished putting the engine together from a few different ones, runs like a top, I have to be careful if I push the motion control forward to fast it brings the front about a foot in the air, scared the crap out of me the first time then I had to do it a few times just to play, but I don't want to break it so.....

Kelly 1,033 #5 Posted July 29, 2010 Yes the fronts are Firestones, way to much money for them, but I sold a few things and wanted a set, so here they are........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpmcleod 4 #21 Posted July 29, 2010 Kelly. Check your PM's from me regarding the Onan parts. I now have two Onan parts engines. The one I installed today had a busted rod. I give up. Two of everything except starter and coil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,033 #25 Posted May 26, 2011 The rear rims are off a zero turn, I think? I got them from a salvage yard, they are 10.5" wide, I had to move the centers were I wanted them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
