I know I I've got a lot of other things to worry about this time of year but this is realy starting to bother me.I'm painting my 966 and I don't know what color to paint the front rims! I know stock rims were all red but they look kind of bland.I've seen all sorts of combinations,aluminum on the outside edge matches the rear ones.All aluminum looks cheap,all grey like the 88's doesn't match and all white looks great on a 1206 but again just doesn't match up with the rest of this tractor. Does anyone know of a different paint combo or what do you think looks better. Thanks for any help.

To really make it different paint the cast iron around the grill and the center stripe of the hood black, I've done that to a couple and it really looks good I think. Thanks

I personally like the stock red painted rims. However, if you want to be different, get them chromed!!!

With the 8 bolt front wheels I like to paint them white, looks really good with white wheel weights and axle mount duals. The 6 bolt wheels look best red to me, they look funny white. Below is a link that has some pictures of our 1066s with white front wheels.

Question for Cliff: Tilt wheel in 1086?

Cliff, I enjoyed your pictures. It looks like your 1086 pulling the grain cart has a tilt wheel. Did the 86 series have that? I thought they didn't tilt until the 88's came out.

We found a tilt wheel kit for a 88 series tractor and put in it. Cost about $250 but it makes it much easier to get in and out of.

My 966 has them painted like a 50 series, metalic gray with black hubs and it looks pretty good. Sets it off to look a little different.But it's your tractor do what you like not what somebody else does. Thanks

Red is original for 66, I personally like them correct, I work at a dealer and havent seen another color that looks right.
