jparkes43 27 #78 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Hello guys, sorry for my recent absence, but i have been waiting for my days to be free. so here i am back with some news, i have 4 new tyres and 4 new inner tube for my lawn ranger. the rear tyres are in the back of my car and i am taking them of with the tyre machine later on today so expect an update late today early tomorrow if all goes well. not much in terms of progress but a huge step forward because now i have some parts to make it a rolling chassis after i sandblast at school.

jparkes43 27 #80 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) you want to look out for a new engine james whys that Nigel? the old one seems fine. Guys as promised, another update the tyres are off. a tyre machine to break the bead and then some elbow grease with some leavers because out machine didn't go small enough and eventually it came off after some tyre cutting then i got two new rubber air inserts with valves and caps now to get in with the sand blasting and painting etc ten ready to make it a roller again.

the showman 4,074 #81 Posted March 7, 2015 What size did you get for the front and how do they compare with the original 4 50 x 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparkes43 27 #82 Posted March 7, 2015 What size did you get for the front and how do they compare with the original 4 50 x 4 i got some 4.00X4 and they look pretty good compared to the originals obviously a tad thinner an they look good. which is fine they will fit. also i noticed that rears are tubeless so i am returning the old tubes to get my money back. i got the original sized rear tyres james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 1,900 #85 Posted March 7, 2015 Good luck getting the tyres on. We had a real struggle on the little lawn ranger last year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparkes43 27 #86 Posted March 7, 2015 Good luck getting the tyres on. We had a real struggle on the little lawn ranger last year i had a struggle getting them of with no machine because ours was to large. me and my friend with 3 levers and some weight and elbow grease in the heat manged it so we can mange it again with some soapy solution. at least the fronts will be ok james Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparkes43 27 #87 Posted March 9, 2015 it was such a shame that today there was a lesson on when i wanted to use the sand blaster so only one half of one split wheel. but at least that is done, and i got the two tubes in the two front tyres so i can test fit them. james 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
