Gearclash Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Looks nice nate! Thanks for keeping some older iron nice. Always bugs me to see what could be productive machinery beat to a pulp and neglected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure any tire is good anymore, I’ve never been impressed with the Michelin ag tires, and Firestones are to soft nowadays, they get stubble damage from grass it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of that has to do with a extremely bad experienced with them a while back. They lost us as a customer after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far had them on my 1066 for 7 years and have no complaints. I do agree ain't nothing worth nothing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 3/4” drive ratchet was a lot of work to get the duals off. We mowed a lot of hay with the duals on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acem Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I've done alot of damage to hay equipment leaving the duals on doing hay work. My rows are 36" so the duals are pretty wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta88 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 So what is the procedure for a rebuilt engine. How do you break it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 You have to watch what you are doing with duals, It rides a lot nicer and the hills I was cutting grass on yesterday would make me really nervous on narrow spacing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
