Thanks Hugh. Always appreciate your posts. This will not be a show restoration or a puller - just occasional use for log skidding and transporting firewood. Probably the most extreme traction-related activity would be pushing snow on a grade. I had 450 pounds in a rock box mounted on a drawbar extension, in addition to the fluid in the tires, all last winter and that was plenty. I haven't calculated the weight the fluid in the tires. I also picked up some wheel weights that come in at 150 pounds apiece (Kay Brunner, not IH) which could replace the fluid weight, if I had to.

Your comments bring to light another issue. We season our firewood at the edge of our lawn (most sunlight) so I'm driving the tractor on the lawn to get to it. If possible, I think something closer to a turf tire might meet our needs better. Can one put turf tires on an H? What's involved - just getting wider rims? How wide a rim for how wide a tire? Thanks again.
