@tallen4392 if those aren't readily available you can also use a group 35. They have 35R as well so double check your own terminal setup. 35/35R will need a small spacer block set in the battery tray.

Tire Recommendations for steep, snowy, mud

TRI-RIB tires. Much different than the wide slick type tires you posted. -
Tire Recommendations for steep, snowy, mud
ebinmaine replied to Alrashid2's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I'd lean towards the "conflict" being different life situations. Some folks can use minimal weights and no chains to plow snow. Others need a heavier machine with aggressive chains. Some have flat ground. Others live on a mountainside. Some have winter that's a week long. Others have literally 6 months cold weather. For the fronts I'd highly recommend the ones @Sparky posted. -

Maybe go with a tire for a walk behind snow-blower up front? I have these on mine. -

@ebinmaine I totally understand and appreciate your feedback! Gosh, I read such conflicting info on here (even on older posts discussing similar topics) so that's why I ask you guys, the experts! Not disagreeing with you at all, but had read some posts on this forum saying that the ribbed tires do great at steering in the snow. Ugh! Do you think a turf saver would perform better than the ribbed one above? Maybe I should find a Carlisle All Trail style one for the front too? I am 100% sure that even the Carlisle All Trail will not perform as well as chains in the snow and mud. I just need new tires soon anyway so want to try these first, and see if theyre any better than what I have. I only get stuck once in a great while, and even then once I get past a certain problem spot, a few feet ahead I'm back to moving on these old Turf Savers. So just wanted to see if these All Trail tires would be just better enough to be good enough for me. Can I ask, what purpose do the ribbed tires serve then? Just grass and fields? Are Turf Savers better in Snow and Mud for turning than Ribbed? - Today

thanks for the pic of the 22nf that’s what i need should be able to find those

I would consider how much work? A regular mowing tractor all summer?

I run the scraper all the way down, 2 link ice grip chains on the rear, #40 roller chains on the fronts and also scrape with plow blade. All on an expensive asphalt paved driveway 2 1/2 cars wide by about 120 ft long. Yes it may leave some little scratches in the surface but they are gone come spring time and become completely unnoticeable that they were ever there. Don't aggressively spin the rears. Mostly unnecessary since the traction is always good Don't keep driving if the fronts are sliding, Lift the blower or blade and it will instantly steer again. Be mindful of the rear tires riding up high on snow piles like as that will tip the tractor and could dig the corner of the plow blade down into the driveway.

It has been a few years. But as I recall I was at the far end of the field when the C-141 just sputtered and died. No clicking from the pump. I agree one thing I like about electric turn the switch on listen to clicking when it changes bowl is full and it fires right up. Incidentally trying to tow a C-141 with a front mount mower several hundred feet is a real PITA

I worried about that too on a 12k blacktop job but so far in 6 years of asphalt with no issues. Maybe I am over worrying about the use of chains on it? I find that scraping right on it still leaves a thin cost of ice or snow but it doesn't take much sun on a warmer (above 15-20 deg.) to melt it off back to clear asphalt. It does wear down on the scraper quicker but I guess that's why you can flip or replace them. Lots of guys here make or use rubber or plastic scrapers.

Most likely. PM me later. I’ll have to double check and it’s currently 10 degrees out in my shed.

Most of us use those tires on the front of pulling tractors especially the tri rib ones. I would recommend a good set of snowblower tires in the front. -
Some K341 engines unofficially can be bored much more. That'd obviously be up to the rebuilder to determine. Not something I'd do without proper scanning equipment.

I heard this morning that the recent storm dropped 23.6 inches of snow on Boston proper. That's the 8th LARGEST storm total on record!!

Do you remember if it quit "clicking" or makes that noise and failed to pump? The thing I liked about these (electric) pumps is when you turn the key to run and the pump takes off you can hear, if you have decent hearing, the pump change pitch as the bowl fills and it changes pitch as the float shuts off fuel flow and the pump changes pitch building pressure.

@Joker72 morning , as usual , how has your enhancement worked ? good / bad , regularly refer to how things , evolve , regularly go over entire unit for opportunity to stop or correct a start ing issue . ex, how easily do your choke / throttle , levers move / react ? been years now , super lube hydraulic oil , in every set up and a light extension spring pull at end counter pull Assist , to close / stop . incredible temp specs , hot / cold , always slick . none of my cables sound like a hack saw on a threaded rod , smooth / easy slick . always looking for an enhancement spot . good plowing , pete

I don't run sunnys in the winters but bet they would be slow with 10w and slow to warm up. I wouldn't be beyond just trying ATF in a Eaton 1100 but back to @squonk ies issue on how to get the recommended 10w-30 out? Or get the ATF back out if it doesn't pan out and performance is poor and you want to switch back.

I bought two of those gold can pumps several year ago. One is still working the other failed after just a few hours.

It's been a few months since I put a new starter on the K-181 for the reborn B-80. I purchased the rebuild kit for the old one but have yet to find one with the correct bushing on the gear end. The brush end was correct. This morning I just decided to clean it up, lube the bushings and put it back together. It's just going to be sitting on the shelf as a spare. I cleaned up the important stuff, put new brushed in and reassembled it. Leave it to an old electrician to use a 4" sq cover to whip up a hold the brushes down while you put the end cap back on tool. It worked great. Tested and It's good to go.

Probably the luck of the draw. You get one that lasts for years or one that works a week. Good idea Another good idea. Maybe rig one up on a iv tank for running & testing motors "on the bench". Of course the big thing with this is observing safety protocols when working with fuels.

Try this it will turn over every time For years.

Most chargers came with a full sized battery and clamp type connectors. This is a 22NF battery in Charger battery pan.
