Steel tires

[MJB]

I have not personally seen it on a tractor, but I recall reading that the old Lanz Bulldog tractors used a powder actuated starter. These were single cylinder, two cycle, air cooled diesel engines with a rather large displacement. If you did not use the powder starter it took two strong men to turn it over using a long bar on the flywheel due to the high compresson ratio. I think I would opt for the powder starter./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

These are on my 8n, bought the wheels off of ebay.

The below link shows the side view, the wheels seperated and the front view.

The wheels ride rough on asphalt and cement but comfortable on dirt, it rips up the ground when getting traction. I can bury the wheels if the boxblade gets stuck on a stump, clearing out my 5 acres. Got these after my good tires got torn up on roots and stumps
