The tag on the front diff says says 24.6 to 1 for a ratio. When I turn the one wheel and count the drive shaft's revolutions however I end up counting 21 for each turn of the tire. I suspect the tag is wrong. I have 18.4x38 GY dyna torque ll tires on the back and have been using it with 14.9x26 FS traction field and road tires on the front.
What is the percent lead for this combination?
What should the true match ratio be for my 1855 with this differential?
This combination seems to work okay, although the front treads wore down after a while. I just changed one front tire with a 14.9x26 GY power torque and will need to change the other in the near future.
We are on flat land but we use this 1855 mostly for moving big heavy round bales in the field or feeding the cattle. I am not sure what is best but I am considering a 2 to 3% lead as a compromise between tire wear and traction.
So given that I have a spare pair of 24" d x 11” w wheels for the front and I also have two pairs of 20.8 Firestone tires
a: Traction field and road R1 or b: Radial all traction I could use on the back.
What combinations of tires can I use?
