hubs compatible with D130 and ATV wheels

hi. just purchase a John Deere D130
I need it to manatin a running trail, it has hills and bumps
I need to higher a little the tractor so not to get stuck

Current tires are
front: 15x6-6
rear: 20x10-8
the bore or stem is 3/4

I was thinking on install ATV wheels and tires to make it higher and provide more traction.

where I can purchase hubs compatible with the tractor and with ATV wheels?
webpage, link, brand or part number you can recommend?

You could try gopowersports or amazon might have some as well, it depends on what rims you would be putting on there as well though.

Not sure of your skill or what you are capable of purchasing.  Easiest off the shelf would be something like from gopowersports.

You could probably use these on the rear if keyed 3/4 axle.



You could use these on the front (I have used them several times, some tractors you have to trim down the shaft some, knock the studs out and trim from the front recommended)


I would recommend these bearings in the front wheel for longevity.

Stay away from XiKe brand.  

Then you can buy 4 on 4 rims to whatever size you would like.  I would recommend a 10" on the rear with a 21-23 inch tire.  I don't know if the hydro a D160 has would stand up to time with anything 24" and higher.  I would recommend 8 inch wheels on the front.

That is the most off-the-shelf I can give ya.

If you already have ATV tires mounted on wheels, you will need to find the hole spacing pattern on those wheels.  Gopowersports do have a few hubs that may work.  May just need to search that out.  Bmikarts.com is another good source but their shipping has gotten pretty high in the past couple years.

Wheels and tires you recomend to install on those hubs? I want tires with traction, but not to aggressive pattern like big lugs, because is a running trail and I don't want to make holes marks on the soil.
Also, I think if I install 21 or more tires on the back, the tire may get stuck on the Deck.
Current tire is 20x10-8 and distance from Deck is 1" exactly.
Is there a way to move back the transaxle without have to do a mayor re build? Tks!!

AH! Still mower duty!

Cheapest is to forget hubs.

Get some new wheels or use your existing and put tires on them.

Either of these treads wouldn't tear things up too bad.  I actually fun the WANDA's on my craftsman mower.

I actually still run normal turf fronts.

Both those work well on rear.  For a full set that closely match what you have:
Full set tires

I just run the wheels I had.  If you want to be able to go back to turfs easy you can get a new set of rims, and install the tires on them.

For instance if you keep the 8" rear and 6" fronts.
Rear wheel, probably find a white or grey version for cheaper with some looking.

If you really think about it, all those are pretty pricy.

I would concentrate on just the rears to start for traction.  Sounds like you are going to be pretty limited to the 20x10x8 max size due to the mower deck clearance. You might can go with a 21", but it sounds like your deck will be running pretty high for clearance which actually makes it closer to the tires. Not sure if they make a 21" on a 8" wheel, that is why I mentioned going to a 10" wheel and would require a hub.  No good way to "move the axle backwards" without some fabrication of moving the mounts, extending controls, trying to determine new belt sizes. 

I see you getting more traction, but not sure you could gain more than 1 inch in deck height with tires.  ATV tires while may be "taller" most have a lower max pressure which brings them back down a bit.  

Lots there to think and process.  Maybe one of the other guys have something to pitch in?

I have a spare hydro axle that I am trying things on before I switch the hubs and tires to my EDD Murray with a Peerless 205. Originally the plan was to just use a spacer and some washers between the hub and axle housing. BUT, I think that will wear on what I assume is an axle retainer.

So ... I am going to use these between the hub and axle housing:

or

3/4" Split Collar, 3/16" Keyway

with these 3/4" all the way through hubs that I bought:

with these tires:

Now, I just want to throw this out there. With my bald old cracked 18" lawn tires WITH chains, I noticed they do not tear the lawn as I assumed they would. They provide fairly good traction except on rock. So, you might consider a milder tread if you really need it and put on chains only when you really need them.

FWIW: Putting on chains while the tire is on the tractor is much tougher then doing it with the tire and rim off the tractor. When I lived up north in snow country, I would have a set of studded tires just for winter or planned blizzards. You could keep a spare set of chained tires for the planned days of mud or marsh and go with a milder thread.

@JB_4x4 CreepyCrawler tested chains in the last year or so with great results too. I forget what kind of tire he mounted them on but the goal way to air down the tire, put the chain on, then air the tire back up. I believe his review was the same as your's. Worked great everywhere except rocks.

I used to keep chains on all the time. Mutt had them for a while, but I used them the most on my old snapper LT16. The tire chains and a skinny 21x7-10 rear tire really was a winning combination, those skinnies would really dig with the tire chains on them.
