New 1315 Owner

[jeverly]

Hello, all. Just introducing myself. Bought a 1315 off of a friend of mine that had the transmission in a box. Put it back together and everything seems to be working fine. I haven't seen a lot of information on these so if anyone has any tips or tricks for the 1315 series I'd much appreciate it. The mower deck is rotten so I'll be replating that, and I thought about getting some Duro Ag tires for it. I don't suppose anyone has ever made a lawn tractor into a dual wheel machine? I live on some hillsides, but the wheels on this thing, not having lug bolts, don't seem to be adaptable to dual wheels. Someone mentioned to me about welding two wheels together, but that seems like it might be too much stress on the axle? Any thoughts?

I have a 1315 that someone gave to me, I put ag tires on it and yes I know what you are talking about no lug bolts, I thought about duals too.

Jonathan E, Connor J: The 1315 is a low-end early 90's Cadet lawn tractor made by the Cub Cadet Corporation... They were designed only to mow grass on mostly-flat suburban lawns. And, that they'll do. B-u-t...ya are not likely to make a silk purse out of a sows ear...

I understand what you are saying but there must be some way to do it.

There's some way to do everything, but that doesn't make it a good idea
