squonk 42,491 #23276 Posted April 9 @Sparky I like those front tires! What are they? I'm looking to buy a pair of them that style. Look like Carlisle X tracs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina has a pair of those on the front of her 867 Pigpen. Noticeable increase in steering traction on both mud and snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,317 #23282 Posted April 9 Tried to finish up my 30 minute spring project that takes several days...got to wait for the wind to be right direction today wasn't. At least snow blower you can crank around the discharge chute. ... But the sweepster beats rakiing to get the driveway back in to the driveway and the road back on to the road. 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 13,698 #23283 Posted April 9 (edited) I like those XTRAC tires. Shouldn't see the front sliding around with those at all. I only wish they came in rear wheel sizes! Edited April 9 by kpinnc 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 1,002 #23284 Posted April 9 (edited) Today, I prepped my spare M12 engine to get the broken mounting tab welded back on. Once that’s done. In a stroke of luck, I already had a full Magnum gasket kit, which had the right base replacement gasket for the M12.

MainelyWheelhorse 1,002 #23287 Posted April 11 Today, after getting recognition at work. It was a nice day so, I did Wheel Horse stuff. I stretched the legs on the old 312. I ended up cleaning out a flower garden of the dead parts of hosta and weeds. The 312 was on hauling duty. 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't even need Pullstart for just one and a deck. Tractor fits nicely in the bed and you can strap the deck to the tail gate.

Just barely I have to say. You'll notice the tailgate is not up. Only way to close it would be to deflate the tires a bit. Thank goodness for ratchet straps!
