Swapped out the Case's rears today

Ok, going to try this again... I had a nice response typed, went to add pics, hit a button and I got to start all over...

Basicly, I was unimpressed with the stock tire/hydraulic motor clearance so decided to swap the Gilson's extra set on the Case for an additional inch of clearance, a wider stance, a more agressive tread, and a slightly rustier pair of wheels. Overall I am very happy with the results, here are a few pics, the first one is the before, the rest afters.

My error was I hit the "Backspace" on the keyboard and it sent my internet back a page, oops..

If you need me to try to change the Tractor of the Week let me know, I can give it a try. Last time I messed with it we agreed that you would change it up since I can't seem to work it myself.

Sure looks good Casey, especially sittin next to my CAT......

It does alright John, the Case has way better traction than the Caterpillar next to it. I think the Case has better weight distribution for one thing. I had the Case out today and I did a little side slope test based on the one I did the second week I used it for mowing just to see how much improvement the wider stance gave. Let's just say I chickened out way before the Case did. I think it was 50 degree side slope.

Yea them turf tires suck...........the Case probly has a heavier rearend than the CAT.

John, even though turfs suck over lugs, I believe weight distribution is key to traction. Right not the Case wins.

hmm cant make sense of ur post casey. it may be lacking a few words.

But i have to agree that weight distribution and a locking diff. can make a BIG difference even with crappy tires.

I have underlined the word I misspelled, it should be "now". I guess typing and thinking are two different functions.

Nice one buzz. slap some wheel weights on the cat and it might win. Esp. with the 18 horse twin............
