Can any one tell me the stock tire size for a 60 can that I picked up. Don't have an owner or parts book yet, and the tires on it are all bad and mis-matched.

Thanks-glen

OM,

I ran out to get the SN #. The best I can make out is 1D-647, or 10-647.:D

1D-xxxx is a good number but unfortunately that is a later model than the 2W5001-up parts book I have. Need to look in a 1D-501-up edition. It's probably the same as the tubeless version but I can't say for sure. Might check the rim sizes.

It's 14 x 20 on the front and 16 x 20 on the rear.

I have the parts book at home, I'll check the details tonight and post any further information.

Hi 7Upuller,
It's probably a little late by now and David has it covered anyway but did find this info buried in my files.......anxious to see the 9U and can at the upcoming Ponte event.

Just a little been there done that advice.I blew a rear tire on our #70 can,went to town bought a used tire,put it on,let it down and seen right away it wasn't going work as the side with the new used tire was much lower by about 4" Had a heck of a time finding the right size with the right diameter.Story is much longer but you can get the idea.

Hi O.M.

The crew put new tires on the rear yesterday. They worked three hours beating the old skin off of the right front wheel today. The 25 unit went on the 6-9u last night at Cat Night. The new chains and tracks are in but we have had trouble getting the weld on sprocket segments. We got one but back ordered on the other. TractorDon gave my shop foreman his contact again and scored. Picked it up this morning to find out wrong part. Located one in colorado this afternoon and having it flown in tonight.

I have the pressure on the shop to get it done this week, but i realize maybe next week.-Glen

Are you using the D5 chain and sprocket or original D6?
Sounds like scramble time alright. Flying sprockets gotta be pretty pricey:D :D
