Greentored 3,201 #51 Posted December 27, 2020 Here we go again! 657 picked up 30 minutes away. Cane with a super solid spare deck and parts, another pair of skinny rear rims and tires, and he even saved the chunk of hood he cut out to swap the OHV engine into it. The guy grew up 15 minutes from where I did in upstate NY, here we meet 700 miles away, and I end up with a hometown tractor! Guys father bought it new. My buddy’s dad ran a big wheel horse dealership in the same area, I’m researching to see if it came from there. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good score Red Unfortunately, 3 out of 4 are most likely destined for the recycler, doubt a tube would even stay within. That's actually part of the reason I went for this one as I robbed a pair off a 655 for my 701 and one is pushing the tube out the side. Win some lose some right? Im happy to have another spare set of 'skinny' rims. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im happy to have another spare set of 'skinny' rims. The skinny rims aren’t easy to find . I recently got a pair of 12 inch wheels that are exactly 4 inches across. I could put 5-12s on them but might be pushing it to get 6-12s on them. It’s the thinnest set I’ve ever come across. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right down to the wheel weigh bolt holes. They had ag tires that were either 4-12 o 5-12 but they were destroyed. Probably came off of a walk behind? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
