D_Mac 8,621 #27 Posted July 3, 2021 Freed up the throttle cable. Hopefully by Tuesday it will be at least running. Driving is another story. If it goes in gear I have tires for the back. Would just need to get some for the front. These tires are much thinner then what's on my other tractors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,610 #28 Posted July 4, 2021 Quite likely that transmission will treat you well. For the front tires there's lots of options. Search 4.00/4.80 x 8 and you'll see bunches of tire designs. If you're wanting an original set they're still out there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
