Tires Wider tires and MMM anti scalp wheel

cchoate · Aug 3, 2002

Moving my rear tires to the widest position makes them rub on the anti scalp wheels of my mmm. I know this topic has been discussed before but has anyone found a solution yet?

This isn't a solution, it more like ignoring the problem, but here's what I tried. There's "only" one anti-scalp wheel that rubs on my B2410/60"mmm/R4 tires. You can remove it, but the mower flops around a bit. Next you can lower it as much as possible so it doesn't bump much. If you raise the MMM to its maximum height minus just a bit, it won't rub. The best thing is that when I suspend the MMM from the two front pins, the back of the mower sags enough that the anti-scalp wheel doesn't rub. Pretty much everything about the MMM set up needs a bit more work: removing it, pinning it up, and the anti-scalp wheel are not up to typical, easy to use, Kubota standards.

There is no real solution. You cannot put the tires out to the widest position with the MMM installed, it works fine at the more inward setting.
Yeah, I agree the MMM arrangement needs work, just for Gunfighter, I want the engine flipped around and moved back, I want the battery left forward however and I want the radiator just in front of the seating area like the BX with reverse flow. I want the fuel tank moved under the seat/fenders and I want reduced overhang on the front like the BX. I want a suspended MMM with a height control knob under the seat area. I would like the more roomy floorboard area of the BX and a slightly wider floorboard too with a handle somewhere to help off and on and I want to get rid of as much plastic as possible. I want a bigger BX--and I want a cup holder too!!!!!!!! and if it has a lawn tractor transmission I am wanting that too. Go ahead also and give me a few more horsepower. I want a clutchless arrangement for the PTO levers, PC, and more cast iron. An available intergrated Backhoe would also be nice. J
