Are you looking for a tire or the actual metal rim?  Front or rear?

Putting the RJ back together that I had a very tight turning transmission on.  I took this to Florida in February and worked on it .  Started assembling last year.  I finally gave up on the two RJ ⚧️s I had for this rebuild and contacted Keith Jones in Ohio.  I madd a wild deal with Keith to give him several boxes of RJ and Suburban transmission parts and a couple full transmissions for a replacement rebuild in trade.   Keith also had His friend Larry “Ratpack” Eads assist him and analyze the problem.  Larry suggested two new axle’s which he machined as the old ones were pretty worn.

 

I had given Keith all new bearings, seals, brass bushings,  gaskets and side plate gaskets for the rebuild.  This transmission is an early 8 tooth brake gear not the later 11 . Keith and Larry worked on this thing over five Sundays getting all the old parts out, the new parts in and finding out what was causing the tightness in the axles Turing the gears.  It turned out that one of the axle tubes on the inside of one of the side plates was slightly bent and needed to be straightened! 
 

I picked it up on Sunday April 3pth which was the date Keith and I set for pick up back in March. 
 

I can’t thank these two guys rnough as this transmission is the smoothest turning thing!    Waiting for my wheel paint to dry before putting in my rear routes but racing to go ride this RJ.   I built this for my brother David.

I got a little tinkering done today. I swapped front sneakers (16x7.50-8) out on the 314-8, and finally added the front wheel weights. The Vanguard is awesome, but very light weight compared to a Magnum. Given the lift on the back, every extra pound of ballast counts.

You hang a Mackissic chipper off the front of that and your ballast concerns are forever solved.

My little buddy chose Chloe first for our rides, but the field is still too wet to turn a furrow for the food plots.  It needs a new H10C plug as well, fouling up and loosing power with a load.  We parked the 953 and grabbed the WHRat for some golf ball pickin’. She got quite a bit of drive time logged!

 

*Any time she was by herself, the tractor was in low/1st.  Crawl speed indeed.

I'd put it up there if I had one!

Back in post 18898, I spoke of fixing the flat tires. Here they are, with tubes inserted and the things uninflated so that it would be easy to paint behind the outside bead. 

   Used the Rust-Oleum red primer and let it dry and then painted the inside of the tim with Almond Gloss.

   Then we mounted it to the tractor and spun on a finish coat and carefully coated the tim edge while keeping the tire back from the rim . The tire will be inflated later..While not as perfect as spraying the paint on, it worked very well using the rotating tire and holding the brush against it.

Pressed in bearings in a 5025 Trans. Waiting for 1 more input shaft bearing. Used press on the capped ones and custom arbors and 7/16"  fine thread rod for the axle bearings and non capped ones. They have a lip to set the depth for the seals.
