OPERATING PRESSURE FOR TIRES
6-12 rear tires are standard equipment on the
International Cub Cadet 1000 Tractor.
I nflate the front and rear tires for normal or heavy
load operations as shown in the following table.
23 x 8.50-12 high floatation tires are standard
equipment on the I nternational Cub Cadet 1200,
1250, and 1450 Tractors. They are also ayailable as
optiohal equipment when ordered for the
International Cub Cadet 1000 Tractor.

23 x 10.5-12 tires are standard on the International
Cub Cadet 1650 Tractor.
The high floatation tires provide maximum
mobility in sand, snow, and soft soil conditions.
The reduced ground pressure and low inflation
provides maximum protection for turf, soil and
crops.
REAR WHEEL WEIGHTS
Rear wheel weights increase traction and reduce
wheel slippage. The weights weight approximately
26 pounds each. They are attached to each rear
wheel with two bolts, lock washers, and hex nuts.
If additional weight is desired, a second set of
weights can be attached to each first weight by
using two longer bolts.
CARE OF TIRES
Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, curbs, and other
hazards. Cuts in tires should te repaired imme-
diately as neglect decreases the tire life.

MOUNTING TIRES ON THE RIM
After mounting a new or old tire on the rim,
inflate it to 20 pounds pressure to seat the tire
bead on the rim flange. Then deflate the tire to the
correct operating pressure.
Keep tires free from oil and grease as both destroy
rubber.
After using the tractor for spraying use water to
remove any chemicals that may be on the tires.
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains will provide additional traction for wet
ground conditions, when plowing snow, or pulling
heavy loads. Rear wheel weights are recommended
when using chains.
INFLATION
Keep the pneumatic tires properly inflated. Over-
inflation will cause operator discomfort. Under-
inflation will cause short tire life.
OVERLOADING
Always see that the tire valve caps are in place and
tightened securely to prevent loss of air and
protect the valve core and stem.
Do not overload the tractor tires by mounting
equipment on the tractor which exceeds the load
capacity of the size of the tires on the tractor.
