2000 rear tire size and rim options

Like Jim says, the rather rare LCG models had 24" rims with dual 8.4x24 tires with a higher ratio ring and pinion. I have a good friend with one of these. The problem with this set up is width. My friend's tractor is too wide with the duals to do the things that I need to do. Without the duals it will not pull the hat off of your head.

Also, like Larry said, it sounds like you need a Select-O-Speed. These much disparaged transmissions have several very low gears that are great for roto-tilling or hay baling.

My friend's 1963 2000 LCG is a S-O-S. It is absolutely great for mowing grass on steep ground but the ground clearance is insufficient for things that it was not designed to do such as raking hay.

My 8n has 11.2-28.. my NAA has 16.9-24 .. bigger stance.. both are just as unuseable in reverse and 4th gear.

Don't feel bad.. on the 5 speeds.. I got 2 of em'.. I've nver used 4th or 5th.. couldn't even tell ya if they work on my 660 / 850.. and I only use reverse at dead idle..

What are you doing that 1 or 2 is too fast. 4th is road gear. To use traveling on a road. We had a 641 which is an earlier model. Had the 4spd. tranny. I did not think any of our tractors had too fast of a reverse.Except an 8N I had for awhile.

We had a 3 cyl. Ford 2000 (30hp)with the 4x2 tranny. That would give you some slow speeds.
Or possibly,you need a bigger tractor.
