Hey Marty -

Looking at that Pic!!! <font size="+2">Nothing is "WRONG" w/ 8.5's</font>

Would "These" be Considered 8.5" Rims?



Bead seal - Bead seal reads 7"

Overall outer lip - outer lip reads 7-3/4"

Maybe parts 1250 has 7" rims and what I "Thought were 10.5's on 149 might actually be 8.5's???? Scratching Head

Forgive me guys I'm Really ummm "New" to all this!!!
I'm "Assuming" both Tractors had Whatever came Factory, 149 rims are Wider!!!!!

 

[jwiggins]

OK after a Little Scratching Around

1250 has "Firestone 7JA" Stamped in the rims.

So 1250 I'm Assuming came Factory w/ 7"

And 149 "Probably" has 8.5's

Sorry to ask so many questions, I know pretty much "Every Question" I've Post can be found on Charlie's FAQ's Page

10.50s were options on both of those. I think (don't quote me) The 8.50s are standard for those two models.

QL operators manual says 8.50 standard 10.50 optional. I have 10.50's on my 1250.

I am sure Kraig will post a better res pic when he can, 8.50 were stock on 10&12hp, 10.50 were stock on 14&16hp.

Steve B.,

Thanks for your response about which tractors are the best looking.
You do have some fantastic looking tractors and attachments! (even though I think the yellar ones are better looking.)

I thought I would get more responses than just from Steve!

Where's all the "Z" shaped grill fans?

Jeremiah,

I guess you will have to think of something else to see if we can get more responses.

Jason,

Continue on, everyone but Steve and Jeff is asleep.

Well As Always, Things Take me longer than I Anticipate!

But I did manage to AtLeast get far enuff to give all the Correct pOlice a chance to

on This ONE!!!! LoL

Ok so here we Go!!!!

You Guys <font size="+2">KNOW WHERE THIS IS Going, RITE?</font>


So 7" + 2" x 1/8" Flat = 9" Hack Job Rim!!!

Grinder w/ Sanding pad debur and weld prep/ paint removal all in one!!!

1/8" Flat bends easy, and I've found that Inside tacks on a Radius keep outer edge of Flat From "FLARING"

Round and Round She Goes!!!!!!

Ok,,, Time to CUT & CLOSE!!!!

Now Seems Logical if Both rim Faces are Square & Centered w/ each other Your Good 2 Go!!!!!

Is that Correct, pOlice????

Anyway,

All Square, Centered, & Tacked!!!

OK Weld'em OUT!!!!!

Well Ran out of Argon, this episode will have to Continue at a Later Date, but I was able to get one far enuff along to give pOlice all Kinds off Ammunition on This ONE!
