New boots for the old girl

Put a set of Barum tires on this 1070 15 years or so back and they have went to pot. Won't ever put on cheap tires again. Found a set of mounted 18.4 x 38 Firestone's almost new for $1200.00. The 1070 had 18.4 x 34's on it. Thad fixed me up with a set of wheels. Now she sets a little taller and looks good to me. Thought I would show you what my son and I did yesterday.

It is my son's 830 diesel case-o-matic with a case loader. I don't know the model of loader. It must be for a 70 series because of it hitting the front tie rod when down. He bought it with it on it.
 
Nice 1070! Wow those fenders are in great shape! I have seen the same thing with cheap tires. China Junk. I bought a 1175 once with cheap tires on it, tires still had 2 inches of lug but the sidewalls looked like they were 60 years old.
 
Hey she"s a good looking lady, would love to have a date with her! Looks good with that set of tires. Congratulations.
 
Sharp ol'e girl. Firestone is "top of the line" and you did well. I only know of 3 US manufacturers, Firestone, American Farmer & Titan. I have more sidewall in my shoe than Titan puts in their tires. Titan builds some for Goodyear, and cannot speak to the quality of those tires. 25 years ago, a Taurus tire from Romania or Hungary was on the market. Excellent tire, but not around any more.
 
Looks like those centers polished up real nice. Did they go over the dual hubs like we thought?
 
Hi Eldo,
I havent ever seen a cab like that,I notice it has a name,and wondered what it is? Its a great looking machine!
 
Full Vision cab. I like the way the windows open for baling and I take the doors off. Better than a buggy top with the blower fan. A case cab with air would be better.
