    Tires Off - Wheel Refurbishing

    Yep, the washer trick is what I was planning, as far as the rust, first a wire wheel, then maybe a rust converter or Rust-Reformer and Gloss Black. I should have taken pics of the tires, lots of "day light" holes on the rears, but today was tire pickup day at work so we were rushed, will be...

    Now that all four tires are off, I have some work ahead of me. One rear and one front are in bad shape rust wise, but all four need attention. Used the Hunter TCX 640 at work to remove the rears :D and a standard tire machine for the fronts...

    L2501 vertical exhaust mod

    I like the idea, my old L1500 came with the upright exhaust and I always wondered about how the bottom exhaust systems worked out seeing the exhaust coming out of mine. Are you concerned with engine vibration and a solid mount to the tractor? :confused:

    L1500DT Final Drive Ratio

    I guess I do see a bit of difference..... Not sure it is worth the extra cash layout? And like I said The ride was not that bad on the old ones, which were hard as a rock. :D

    L1500DT Final Drive Ratio

    For 22" rims?, thats all I found, I asked here and got no guidance? The ride was not that bad on the old ones, and they were hard as a rock, these at least have some give. :)

    PTO Link

    :confused: I see no need for this "Easy 1 minute PTO Connector" with the standard PTO shaft (clean and lubed) it is a 20 second job at the worst :confused: I agree with NIW, "I don't think I wanna trust a 3/8 pin to hold the unit together" either.

    Tractor Tire Swap-Out

    Talked to the Lead Mechanic in the shop today, asked how they did big truck and grader tires. "We have a machine" :D I told him everyone in the Springs wanted to do them by hand, he said "bring them in, I'll show you how to use it, we haven't done it by hand in 10 years". Machine must be...
