I've had it done to a Briggs as well. Works great. 

 

Didn't know they were available for a Kohler K. 

 

You have a parts source or directions?

 

I checked and they are not recommended for battery ignition so I guess that rules out the K series.

Ebinmaine,

I trimmed a little off the seat pan/fender and run 10psi of air. Also I’m trying to put a twin Briggs on the old girl

Love it. 

 

Fits fine. 

 

Want me to send some butter and big crowbar?

 

 

 

Have you posted this engine before?

Pic looks familiar. 

 

What's the engine?

16, 18 hp?

These are what will be on Colossus. 

American Farmer 7.60 - 15. They measure approximately 30" tall. 

 

 

Here's a couple views of Cinnamon Horse. 

That has a Carlisle commercial grade tire that's sized 23 x 10.50 x 12. It measures a full 23. They are also a wide aspect tire and have a rim guard feature. The tire rubber actually wraps out around the edge of the rim. 

I do run chains on these for plowing snow. 

 

 

 

 

Holy cow!!!! Those are bigger than the tires on my Allis 620! I run 23x10.50-12 ag tires on my 867. They were some cheap Chinese brand on amazon but they are actually very nice tires for the price. They deffinitly give it a cool stance. I have not had any traction issues with them yet even in the snow.

Hehehehe... THAT is the idea. 

Hence the name. 

 

I'm thinking I'll get the rears mounted up soon so I can block the front of the frame and see how things will set.

 Wich adjustments did you make to fit them?

 You got to lift the fenders,seat.  sometimes, even stretch the WH by moving the trans backwords.

So a post somewhere, with a pic of the brackets.

And when you run 12 inch wide tires, you will need wheel spacers.

As you can imagine it depends on the tractor. On the older ones they were built with smaller wheels and tires so you need to account for things a little differently. Also, the one that @Skipper has in the pictures is a c195 I believe so the wheels and tires are larger in the first place. Maybe around 28-in diameter?

 

On many of the Wheelhorse tractors you can't go much bigger in outside diameter but you can go infinitely wider with the correct rims.

 

If you check out the thread on my Colossus project you'll find that I had a friend of mine build a 7-in long adapter that goes between the frame and transmission. I went with that length simply because it was the same as the width and I wanted the symmetry.

Did some one ask for big ags?

 

I have tractors with 6-12, 23x8.50 & 23x10.50 ags on the back. All of them serve their purpose. The 26x12's pictured above are mainly for a cool factor, but the tractor does pull a plow pretty nicely with them. 

Care to share a brand and source?

What size rims?  You widen them?

I'll have to look at the tires tonight to get you the brand name. I'm sure they were an purchase.

 

The rims are 11 1/2" wide. I took four 7.5" wide rims to make them.

I did the exact same thing for my puller I used to have. I actually put them on the tractor, fired it up and let the wheels turn while I used a cutoff wheel in a grinder. They came out almost perfect!

Neat idea. Powered turn and Straight cut.

That's the same method that I used. Ended up with less than 1/16" difference in width from one side to the other.
