608KEB 794 #1 Posted February 20, 2014 I have a 94 520H. I want to put the factory front tires that came on the tractor. Were they goodyear softtrac tires? I have a manual and found the front tire size. (16X650-8) Also were these tires 2 or 4 ply? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #2 Posted February 20, 2014 All the 520s I have owned none had Goodyears on them, older ones had Carlisle Turf savers on them newer had Dico R/S I think is the model, but Dico for sure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,996 #3 Posted February 20, 2014 I believe you should have 16x7.50-8 tires up front and 23x10.5-12 tires out back. Mine were this size on my newer swept axle 520. Front tires on mine were 2 ply. Cleat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheesegrader 433 #7 Posted February 21, 2014 My haven't been 94's, and I wasn't the original owner. So, these might not be the original tires. Except for the loader, they were Carlisle TurfMasters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

608KEB 794 #11 Posted February 28, 2014 Does Dico still make tires? If so, where could I buy some? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh5208speed 602 #12 Posted March 2, 2014 Dico got bought out by Titian, which got bought out by Carlisle. Here is a website that sells them: http://www.cedarrapidstire.com/category/15512/turf-trac-r-s-carlisle-lawn-and-garden-turf-tires Carlisle still makes the 23x10.50-12, but they do not make the 16x7.50-8 (unpopular size), which came on the fronts. You could substitute 16x6.50-8 (very popular size) which would fit just fine on the rim. Thad (Ohio) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
