FlatbedAndy 17 #1 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) I was a member on here years ago and had to sign up again. I'm taking the winter off (semi retired) and now have time in the garage to work on some old tractors . First off I want to get the "69 GT14 in working order. Next one is I think a Raider about a 69 model (no tag) has the long hood and 2 stick transmission (hi low) that needs a motor. For everyday workers I have a pair of 520's Edited January 5, 2017 by FlatbedAndy 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,373 #2 Posted January 5, 2017 back to , now that you've got my curiosity piqued what size rubber on the back of your 520s? That can't be 23x10.50-12s, Jeff. My 520 herd ... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 38,112 #8 Posted January 5, 2017 That's one wide rear end. Might need a 60" wide blower to clear the wheel track though. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Width is the same as the blower which is 44" I think. Tires are filled, rime have some concrete weights that I made . and the weight you can see on the rear helps a lot. Those 2 stage blowers are HEAVY 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,112 #11 Posted January 5, 2017 I hear you Andy. I know it takes a lot of weight to counter the SS blower on my 520. When you raise the blowers, they lose traction quickly. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
