I have a YM1700 that I love! I have the stock rice tires on it and the skinny fronts. I LOVE that Hoye turf tire and wheel setup but cannot bring myself to spend $1,500 on them. What can I look for that would fit and be similar? What're my options?
Sorry for the "urgent" post, but I need a couple of questions answered quickly so I can jump on a possible deal tomorrow.
Tractor is a John Deere 650. 1600 Hours. Cranks, but won't fire - says not getting fuel.
What ALL should I look for/at?
I can get the tractor for $1,500 and maybe even...

I cannot wait to test it out!
AHHHHHHHHHH! It never ends! Alright, so this may not be a big deal. But I pulled the cap off the radiator after running it for a while, with just STRAIGHT water. It NEVER did this before the water pump, not with straight water, not with antifreeze mix, etc. It was always extremely clean...

Picked this up today with 700 hours on it for $1,800! I'm pretty happy with the deal!
