Wow, I was trying to guess if it was a 24" or 26" rim. My smallest tractor has 11.2-24 tires, two sizes smaller.

So you built a one link suspension for the front axle? You mind me asking what you used for the link pivot joint? Any closer pics of the front suspension links, frame and diff brackets and all that other fab work you have put under there?? :D

Looks bad ass for sure man!
