ATV tires didn't work well at all, went back to turfs with 2 link chains, they're super.

Thanks. My tractor will be needing tires, so I'm trying to figure out what works best.

After some setbacks, some progress... Engine fired up; need to tweak something to get rid of dark exhaust when raising the engine speed. (Exhaust color seems normal when left at a constant RPM, or when throttling down.)

I really dig those firestone tri ribs on a narrow frame. I have them on my 782 tiller tractor and love them. Like that demonstrator look of your tractor
