Got an older JD-van Brunt drill( B or FB)that needs tires. Since it't ground driven wouldn't it be best to use lugged tires mounted reversed?

If old car tires slip while driving the drill- it's too wet to seed grain.

You'd be surprised how long a set of tires will go on a drill. Ousr still has one of the original tires on it far as I can tell. It's very dry rotted and looks horrible, but it still keeps going round. We replaced the other one about 3 years ago after finding a split between the ribs.

Never went flat, just started to show some tube.

I just whipped out the owners manual to my old FBB drill. On page 32 it says, "Good used automotive tires may be used in place of implement tires. These tires should be of the same size as recommended on page 5. They may be 4 ply or 6 ply. Where soil is soft and the wheels have a tendency to sink, larger pnuematic tires may be used. The 15-inch wheel will accomodate tires up to and including 8.20 X 15 size.

Tire inflation.

Regardless of tire size, a dimention of 13-1/4 inches from the floor to the center of the wheel should be used. Inflating the tire to this height will insure required feed shaft revolutions per acre (accuracy in drilling) and accurate land measurer tabulations.

The info on page 5;

Tire size. Model 117- 6.70X15 Model 137- 6.70X15 Model 157- 7.60X15 Model 177- 7.60X15 Model 168- 7.60X15

Hope this helps.

They don't need much power at all, so old car tires work fine. You'd have the right idea, if they needed it, but not a concern.

Planting seed isn"t the same as hauling manure with a ground drive spreader. Our Van Brunt B has regular implement tires on it and has since the day it was new.

No, my drill & spreader both have old car tires, they don't slip.

Almost any tire will provide enough traction for those old drills. However, measure the tire carefully as to height/radius as stated in the manual, or your acre meter and seeding rate will be off. Tom

Not really,those drills came from the factory with old car tires and every one I have used never gave a problem,even with the clutch lift. It's up to you for peace of mind, would look kinda neat with the traction tires. I have half worn out mud and snow tires on mine now but it's hydraulic lift.
