1976 B-60

[Damtrucker 14]

Just bought my first wheel horse!  Going to use it for snow plowing mainly.   Wanting to know if 23X9.5 ag tires will work on her without modification and if it's a good idea.  Has 8hp 8 spd

[Racinbob 11,388]

NICE!! Did they go electric start with the 8hp?

23x9.5 will work fine but who makes them ags in that size? I was thinking it was 23x8.5 or 10.5. You'll also find that turf with chains would be better for snow. I like the 2 link chains.

Oh yea...................

Stayed with pull start, but that's okay,  less to go wrong.   Starts in 2 pulls,  I'll see if I change my mind this winter.   I ordered chains,  just thinking bigger tires look so cool.  Love my new horse.  Thanks for reply. I'll get pics up soon,  she's in really good shape.   Needs paint.

With an 8 I'd like the pull start too. Looking forward to the pics

A nice thing about 76 (as well as some other years) is that you've got an 8 pinion diff and 1 1/8" axles just like the higher hp's.

thanks, glad to be here.   Still trying to figure nav on this Site.

I saw that '76 was a good year to have the b model when I was investigating what I'd bought.   Did good for firsty I think.   I'm looking at 5 wheel weights but I I'm not home,  do you happen to know the bolt hole pattern? 6" 6.5" for the weights.

The bolt pattern for weights on a 12" wheel is  4 - 1/2" square holes eq. sp. @‌ 8 5/8" dia.

I am glad to have her.   The more I looked and messed around on it,  the happier I was.  I was surprised the pulling power an 8hp little tractor has.

Cool.  I was thinking they didn't look as narrow as 6 or so.   Thanks.

 8hp is a great little motor and does good on gas too.

I will second what Racinbob said. Ags are not very good in snow.  There are others here who found that out as well.  Once ice is down, there is just no grip.  Also, if you have a blacktop drive, for heavens sake, do not put latex driveway sealer on it.  That stuff is just like ice.  If you must seal it, mix some sand with as you put it down.

As others have said.....I use turf tires with chains with fluid in the tires for snow plowing, as well as pulling the garden plow....That is with my B-80.

[slammer302 2,156]

If you have a gravel drive way the AGS would probably work fine with weights

I appreciate all the advice.   Here's my horse.

My first horse was a b-60 with electric start. It moved snow just as well as my c-160. Its a great lil tractor. Wish I never sold mine.
