What Wheel Horse Tractor?????

[Rob R 970]

Hi Gentlemen, working on a friends Wheel Horse donated to him by his late Dad. I cannot find any tags on it so i know someone here will be able to identify the Model and Year. What I really NEED is the SIZE of the REAR Tires. as all four (4) markings have been worn to oblivion and they all need to be Tube. Thanks in advance hope your keeping cool. Sorry I didn't make the BIG SHOW this year. Be Well

Look to be 6.00x12 tires on the rear  front 16 5,50 x8

Model and serial may be under the dash

It's a "short frame square hood"  65' 66' 67'.  probably 8 x 12.

On longer look there is more tread pattern on the snow tires than my 6.00 x 12

These are 6x12 “snow-tires”. Look exactly like my dual 6x12’s.  Your outer tires appear to be the same.
  I also think those inner ones are 6x12 as well.

@Rob R Buy four 6/12 tubes and toss em in. 

If the tires are actually 8" wide you'll still be fine. 

 

Remember to run the outer tires low on air. 

 

I'd say 10 PSI inner. (A little high). 

4 PSI outer. 

 

Keep from breaking stuff.

Question what I see in my sten's catalog for 12" Tubes is 23X8.50 (9.50-12) would that be the right tube for these tires? Also what would be the correct new tire size?  Thanks eb

8.5, 9.5 tubes might have a little too much rubber on them for a 6" tire.

If they can't expand fully it would create a wrinkle which could potentially be a leak later.

 

Those tubes should be labeled 6/12 or 6 - 12.  

 

If you can't find those you might be better off to find a 5 x 12 which is reasonably common for trailer usage.

Those tires are 6-12

Search "6-12" or "6.00-12" tire tubes.

Got to avoid the folds, especially in tires that will have lower pressures.

So as always MANY thanks to all you Wheelers, I found 6/12 Tubes on Flea Bay and have an order in. Got the ole girl running good following a good carb clean, Linkage corrections, and a new choke cable (correct length). THANK YOU!

FYI Rob motor appears to be a 8 hp Techy off a snow blower.

@Rob RSnow blower engines typically do not have an air filter. If so, I suggest adding one.
