wingrider 21 #14 Posted August 13, 2012 Great job on your 1045 Mike, it sure looks nice and I know you put a lot of work and time into it. I have a question about your front tires, what makes them so special. I have a couple of tractors with the same tread pattern, were they only used on certain models?? Just curious . Are you coming to either Mentone or Scotts M&G I may need some more trans parts. Take care Wingrider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racinfool40 202 #15 Posted August 13, 2012 Wingrider.To my Knowledge this style of tread pattern were only used on the 1045's...When I got this tractor it only had one and I thought I had a mate to it...But after checking I had the tread pattern for the c-series tractors like for the c-160's which is a different tread pattern..later this evening I will try to get a pic of the 2 side by side to see the difference. I'm gonna try to make Mentone and I will definitly be at Scott's Meet & Greet Let me know what ya need and I will make sure I have it. MIKE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racinfool40 202 #20 Posted August 14, 2012 As promised..but a little slow here is the pic of the different tread pattern for some of the c-series tractors compared to the 1045's the C-series is on the left and the 1045 is the one on the right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleredrider 409 #21 Posted August 14, 2012 Well if you run across or know where there is another one lemme know. I have the other type on the front now, and the don't work very good inless your on pavement. Need something with some bite, and since my build is 1045-ish, like to have the fronts too....
