187D Turf tire options

[uspowers]

Greetings,

I've got a 187D with rice tires.
I'd like to swap for turf tires but cannot justify $1500+ for the new conversion.
Does anybody know of compatible set ups that would fit? JD650 or 750 look close.
I find tractor wheel/tire sizes to be a complete mystery to correlate to actual dimensions.
I'm trying to figure out what will work RE: 4 wheel drive ratio and wheel mounting size to shop craigslist etc for a used setup.
Thanks All
Bob Powers

Do you have the shop manual for your 187? It may list the various axle gear ratios installed for the various tire options. Then the tire manufacturers charts should show rolling diameter.

We actually parted out a YM187 that had factory turfs. Contact me if you are interested and I can get you pictures and pricing.
