What size tires are you running and where did you get the wheels / tires? I'm doing some research before I start building mine. Thanks! Title: Re: Pic of my buggy Post by: foreman1 on March 14, 2006, 10:17:26 PM Hey IXI, I've got a question for ya.. What size tires are you running and where did you get the wheels / tires? I'm doing some research before I start building mine. Thanks! Try St Lucie Battery and tire I've bought tractor tires from them . Also Palm Beach battery and tires sells and mounts large tractor tires on site. They have plenty of variety . The tires on that buggy look like Goodyear R-3's 21.5-16.1 . I've got Firestone's I-3 powerimplement 21.5 -16.1 , they are a little bit lighter than the Goodyears but even thought the measurements are the same the Good Years are wider. Title: Re: Pic of my buggy Post by: BCConviber on March 15, 2006, 04:02:04 PM That's who I was gonna call... They're a friend of the family. Trying to get an idea of what size I want to run. Got any pics of yours you'd care to share?
Title: Re: Pic of my buggy Post by: foreman1 on March 15, 2006, 08:33:12 PM That's who I was gonna call... They're a friend of the family. Trying to get an idea of what size I want to run. Got any pics of yours you'd care to share? I sent ya' a pm , cant post the pics i have due to the large file size. I like the 21.5-16.1's because the are from 44" - 46" tall and 21' wide depending on the make and are pretty easy on the running gear. The next size down from that are the 18.4-16-1's , couple inches shorter and narrower , St lucie always has plenty of these in stock. Once you start goin' bigger than the 21.5's you run into trouble with 1/2 ton axles or lesser. I'm running a closed knuckle 3/4 ton Dana 44 up front and a dana 60 rear . So far I've had no trouble considering that they weigh over 200 lbs a piece. Title: Re: Pic of my buggy Post by: BCConviber on March 16, 2006, 12:51:36 PM Thanks for the info.. I've got 2-1/2 ton Ford running gear, so I'd better not break anything. I like that 21.5 tire size. Also if you know of anybody that wants it, I've got 8 lug 3/4 ton front & semi-float 14 bolt rear Chevy complete axle assemblies that can be had for free. I need 'em out of my shop. Thanks again for your help.
Title: Re: Pic of my buggy Post by: IXIswamperIXI on March 16, 2006, 10:39:11 PM I am sorry I havent responded my internet has been down ... those tires I have are 21.5 x 16 i have dana 60's front and rear out of a ditch witch so i didnt have to shorten the axles ... the buggy only weighs 3000lbs so i have no worrys about breaking anything .... the frount bearings i run gear lube instead of grease ... i have them drilled and tapped so i can fill them before i go out... no matter how new the seals are they will slowly leak the gear lube but it seams to keep the bearings in mint condition. I also drilled and tapped both pumpkins so i can drain them after each trip. Just some ideas for yall .... have a good one

Is it a profab reverse rotation transfercase or are the axles flipped ? Good job on the buggy , that C-channel saved a lot of weight. Title: Re: Pic of my buggy Post by: IXIswamperIXI on March 17, 2006, 06:15:15 AM I have a ford 205 transfercase mounted backwards i didnt have to flop the axles... I have a 2.8L frount wheel drive motor... welded the spider gears in the transmision and used one axle going to the 205 thats about it i think LOL I will be at L cross this weekend on saturday it has been a while so i am ichin to go riding talk to yall later
