For now, these 27x10’s might fill in until adapters can be spun.

me thinks an overdriven 10 hp Kohler will turn ‘em just fine!

 

Might not need much of an over drive. The 23's move you 72" per rotation the 33"s move you 103" per rotation. A good 25% gain in speed with the tires alone.:) But!! One always wants more speed.:thumbs2::D

This can.t be like EB's projects or your dump truck build, snow melts, at in at least a couple more months.

Well, this has more support from the whole family.  Plus, I won’t do much fab work, just “slap some duct tape on it” style build.

Leroy had a pretty bad snap in the tower.  He’ll be better suited to fix up a plow tractor… be it 953 or 1054.

Thought that I saw a live axle in the pile outside. Hook up a Snowmobile clutch & torque converter then chain drive to the axle.

It is out there indeed.  I honestly think that would be more work than necessary.

No worries. It'll likely snow next year too.

Because I’m waiting for my helper to wake up.  EB has a BBT.  I have a 3 year old.

I'm willing to accept this as an answer
