Default Re: Tires and Wheels for Tractor

Thanks Espeefan. This helps a lot. I have four really nice tires...probably Clodbuster...that are perfect diameter outside and inside and nice rubber but are almost an inch too wide. And now that you mention it I do remember reading about guys cutting these down. Maybe I will give this a try. Do you remember if the tires manufactured in this way held up to real use? Like, if they were part of the Lil Giants construction fleet...would they last any length of time?

Any idea what technique is used to cut these cleanly and accurately? Maybe I can rig up a way to mount them to my lathe and use a razor...hmmm....
