Hi Ken
I have a JD 1050 and I would like to do just the opposite of what you are planning. I plan to replace my turf tires with agricultural R1 tires.Im thinking maybe some horse trading may in order here. My front tires are 27/8.50-15 and the tires are in pretty good condition, the rears are also 13.6-28 (I think the previous owner put the wrong size on the rear). If you are interested in considering a trade on the fronts give my an e-mail.

Thanks
Jim White

sounds to me like he did a funny with the tire sizes too. my info from jd indicates a 1050 came in 2 configurations, one with 27/8.50-15 on front with a 44/18.0-20 on the rear (turfs) or 7-16 R1 front and 13.6-28 R1 on the rear. if you have MFWD mixing the two would cause a problem. the MFWD ratio of a 1050 is 1.800. therefore the loaded radius of the front multiplied by 1.800 should be 1% to 5% more than the loaded radius of the rear, ( the front should run 1 to 5 % faster than the rear. i still have not decided which direction to go as an R4 may be a better compromize for me ???? either way my rears would work for you but not with the 8-16. email me in app a month, by the way i live in manitoba canada, we may not be neighbours.

Hi Ken
You are exactly right about my tire size requirements and that is the main reason I want to go with only the front wheel change. I could purchase new rears to match my fronts or purchase new fronts to match my rears. However I do it I will probably need to purchase new tires all the way around. Even if your not interested in a trade I may be interested in purchasing your fronts if you you choose to sell them in the future, keep me in mind.

Thanks
Jim White
