Big'uns on the front?

[AMC RULES 36,956]

Occasionally I've seen images here on the forum of some custom tractors with the same size tires/rims mounted on the front as they have on the rear(big'uns on the front and rear.) I'm wondering how this is accomplished being that they mount up differently, fronts on spindles/rears on hubs? Other than changing the look of the tractor, is there any other advantage to making this mod? :ychain:

You could put trailer hubs on the front to mount larger tires, but it will steer harder, and be hard on steering parts.

Ahh, so. Kelly, do you have a thread covering the custom pictured there in your avatar? Looks wicked. :ychain:

[Kelly 1,028]

:D Kelly, did you ever get you headlight's hooked up? Find some 12 volt bulbs to fit in them? Were they meant to have batteries in them? I've been looking on E-bay. Only ones I found are in Puerto Rico. :ychain:
