Mike, are they still available? Look sweet. Tracy |
Tracy, I bought my tires used but just checked online and it looks like they are still available. Just do a Google search for Good-Year Terra-Tire 31x15.5-15.

My machine has the 12.5L-15 Firestone Power Implement 8 ply. Miller SKU 340561. I may have narrower rims than this machine.
How well does the power steering work, is it fast enough, good feel, quiet?
Does the machine slow down when turning? I realize you haven't tested with loader yet. Seems like a smart move using the Vega PS box, adapting a full hydrostatic steering system would have been more work.
You got skills, what is your day job?

Brian, The power steering is very fast, less than 2 turns lock to lock. Feels great and no noise at all. I haven't lifted anything yet with the 3pt. but it doesn't seem to slow down at all when the power steering is used. I also don't think the tractor slows down when using the power steering.

Dave, the crossbar that goes across the opening is factory. Sometimes they break off and get thrown away. I made a plate that goes behind it with 2 holes in it to bolt on the fuel pump.

The following link is what I bought. It is the 40100n is a kit which has the mounting bolts and hose fittings and includes the 40106 electric fuel pump.

could you take a picture of the underside of your hood up by the fuel tank? there doesn't seem to be room on my 616 for the fuel lines to be routed above the tank like yours so I'm thinking there must be something different there.
