does any one out there need a set of turf tires and wheels for either a 1914 or a ck 20?

Are you selling a set and what are they off of? The 1914 tires are larger thatn the CK 20 tires.

yes I'm selling. Had a coustomer who ordered a machine with turf tires, upon the closing of the sale, they changed their mind and went with r4. They are new. They came off of a 1914. They wil bolt right on a ck20.

Aren't the rear tires a different size for the CK20 vs the 1914? Same bolt pattern but didn't know if they would rub or not.

same bolt pattern, differant size tires. I have a set on a ck 20/ KL120 now. looks good..No rubbing. It'l work. just need someone who needs to do a lot of finish mowing. Most of my coustomers mow the pasture and clean out the horse stalls.

They are the same bolt pattern, and the front tires and wheels are identical.
The problem is the rears are a different size completely and will throw off the gearing between the front and rear axle when in 4wd.
This will cause the drive train to bind up.

It shouldn't throw it off should it? The LB1914 uses that setup and it is 4wd.

Need to maintain the same ratio of the diameter or circumference so that with the front tires rotating "x "number of times more than the back tires (accoplished by gearing) both travel the same distance. If you change rears the rear will try to go farther or shorter than front, something will have to give since there is not a differntial between front and rear. Hopefully it will be the ground that gives. It won't go too far before it binds.

The turf tires for LB1914 should be Front: 23x8.5-12 and Rear: 36x13.5-15 For CK20: Front 23x8.50-12/4 Rear: 33x12.5-16.5 LB1914 tires can NOT be used for a CK20 in 4WD without damage to the drive train. Please read the article at this link from Firestone on lead/lag of 4wd tractors:

Yes, the tires would be the same size once put on the tractor, but the CKs are designed with a fixed tread width (center to center of tires) with no adjustment and are designed to have 16 or 16.5 rears in the ag or turf/IND. I just wouldn't want to chance it on my CK. thanks, John
