Gotcha, just wanted to know if you could see a difference in the added material vs the stock stuff, so you know your not gettin back to the stock lobes.

If you meen not getting back to the stock lobes in taking the material off the cam. I hope you have a week to give up. It takes tha long tormove the material off the cam. Now yes you can see when you mel the stuff on there and form it that you dont have stock lobes.

 mad2 Well, Sad news the wheel horse will no longer be built do to some issues on the pulling tractor again! Transmission problems and well body panels needed. BUT....................  woo I still have a build!

Started back up on the craftsmen...... Pics below......... The tranny has been race prepped and the axle unstuck all I need now are a set of cleated tires and I am good to go. Any one know where I can get a set of cleated tires for a 3/4 axle? Or should I use my existing rim and buy tires for that?

Well, since your not building the Wheel Horse anymore, Start this Craftsman build in a new thread.

I'd get the 3/4'' hubs acme sells, i think there 4X4 and a friend of mine on heymow is selling 4X4 8'' rims for $15 a pair.  That would be your best bet.

Well 4X4 is a very common pattern and it would allow you to change to different setups easily.  You could just use your stock rims.

Yeah, you could just use your stock rims, that's what I did on the Toro... But it will limit you further on down the line, I'd go for the 4x4 rims - if I ever get the time to start working on my mower again that's what I currently have on it.

Just because you move up in a class doesn't mean that you'll "loose" the "race", it just means that you're building a better, more capable machine.
