:-( With warmer weather around the corner. Maybe motivation will rise!

Just think of how much fun you'll have tractoring around on it once it's done, works for me anyways! Lol

Well motivation is coming back here, coincidentally it wasn’t warmer weather (still 22 degrees murican out there or -6 for my metric friends), but rather seeing a buddy of mine’s golf cart rebuild project. Something just kinda pushed me to work on WL some more.

Went out and installed new axle bearings and seals. I need to degrease and pressure wash the transaxle case and then reassembly can begin.

Talking tires…
I found a set of OTR Dirtmasters 2055 White resto modding “White Lightning” - Page 13 S-l1600 for 100 bucks a pop. Pretty nice looking 6 ply tires. Should do well for what I want, and a 15 inch rim nonetheless. Problem is they are 29s. I have 27s now, and it’s gonna be REALLY snug if those go on. Chains if I can even run them at all, will need to get lengthened. As far as clearance goes, I can’t measure it (cause the rear end is kablooie right now, but here’s a stock photo to give y’all an idea: 2055 White resto modding “White Lightning” - Page 13 1370819636130-jpg

Option two is this- 2055 White resto modding “White Lightning” - Page 13 Goodyear-r14t-%2528bias%2529-b-12-16.5-n1206838-1__13543.1621674179.500.750

I can get a set of 2 for $250. They are 8 ply and will probably ride harder than Roy Rogers. They seem to have a nice tread pattern and they’re 27s so I think they’ll work just fine clearance wise. Thoughts?

Are those big Goodyears radials? They have an awfully radial profile.

The ones I'm looking at are bias, but these R14s also come in radials. They put them on the new Kubotas.

Radials on a tractor suck IMO, they have no give. I would definitely go for the bias plies.

I plan to buy the good years, mount them, and run them at about 5-6 psi. Should ride about like how the turf savers I have on now do. 25 years old and they are rock hard.
