Some quotes about front tire sizes and broken spindles from Larry Harsin site: 1650 Spindles Re: 1650 Spindles Posted by Ryan on 11/20/2001 at 06:01:58 IP: 209.152.105.53 Thanks Larry, I don't think I am going to do mush really heavy work, and I don't depend on this tractor for my living, so I can see how it takes it first. I am putting a WL 40 loader on with 7 foot bucket. Mostly snow and a little dirt work. nothing every day. thanks again for the advice.

Just use the tires that came on the tractor. Larry..... ..... ... Re: 1650 Spindles Posted by Don on 11/21/2001 at 21:05:48 IP: 205.188.199.37 My 1755 has a loader on it, and it broke the front left axel pin, which in return broke the spindle. first time it happened the tire got caught inside a furrow while plowing and going around a tree. second time the pin snapped while transporting a large square bale. both times it was just welded back on the shaft. finally it broke the third time while pushing heavy hay/manure away from a bunk wagon and ended up going to the bone yard and getting a spindle from an 1855. I'm not sure if the spindles were the same on those 2 tractors, but apparently, it has an 1855 front if they aren't the same length. It has 11.Lx15's, but I dont think that they were the factory size, atleast not according to some sources I have read.

Was this a mistake? Ryan Re: 1650 Spindles Posted by Larry Harsin on 11/23/2001 at 05:56:18 IP: 209.163.7.80 I prefer to go to 750x16 tire for that front end. They are narrower than a 900 and don't put so much stress on the spindles. Larry..... ..... ...
