Re: front and rear weights
I've changed my 184's wide turf tires over to AG tires on Cub rims and centers with a set of Farmall A wheel weights on the rear. With wide floatation tires on the front with no weights. This combination seems to work on what little snow we have had, and works to move some gravel around. The rear pressure is 11 PSI. The 184 has dual brakes so I have some steering control.

Re: front and rear weights
I picked up a pair of 10"wide x 24" farmall a rims and i plan on fitting them to the fcub rim centers to mount 11.2 AG's on them. I also have the 650-10 3 rib tires for the front. I figure to load the tires for added weight too.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

Re: front and rear weights
Bill,
I don't think the 11.2 ag tires will work that well on a lo-boy. The larger diameter will throw off the stance of the tractor, and I doubt that you will be able to mount a belly mower, since they nearly touch the regular tires on a lo-boy. That along with the increadible loss in torque may make the tractor relatively useless. Several manufacturers offer the ag-style tire in the factory 13.6 x 16 size, and they look great on the lo-boys. They're expensive, however by the time you figure the cost of rims, fabrication, cost of 11.2 tires, youre probably pretty close to these.

Re: front and rear weights
I did not buy these, they were on another forum that I visited. I believe they are Firestones, and I think that I remember him saying they were around $750 for the set. I know that's really expensive for tires, however I have not priced the same size turf tires lately either. I think this size of tire is fairly expensive, regardless of the style. The good news is, like most of the original diamond tread turf tires, they will likely be the last tire you will ever buy for this tractor as you just cannot seem to wear them out.
