Finally got the clover white painted on the 1900-Took the 18.4 x 34s off and widened the rims and put on Michelin 600 x 34R metrics I bought last Summer out in Neb. on Big Iron for $1001 plus took off the tall skinny 18 in. tires off the front and put on 10.00 x 16s--Leveled the tractor out and I think it looks better...

Rinsed the dust off--Super 99 & 1900A--Of course they both have Detroit's in them!

Parked them by the road to dry--I like the looks of those metrics!! br>

Before picture-Put new seat, stack and steering wheel on--This is plain white paint--made my own clover white
 
NICE! I am super jealous of that super 99, but I have to be honest about the stack on your 1900. I think they look better straight, and when she is under load the smoke goes straight up! I have 20.8's on my 1900. 18.4's in my opinion would be way under tired for a 1900. Kinda like the early 88 standards were. Not sure what the logic was in under tiring a tractor, other than cost? I machined a set of 9 bolt hubs to fit the tapered axles on my 88 standard Diesel and put 18.4 -38's on it. Rarely runs out of jam at the pulls before it spins out even with the big tires.
 
Tom you are probably right about the stack but my buddy pulls a 2255 and he has asked me the last 2 years to come to a tractor ride he sponsors so this year I am taking the 1900 and I hope I can get in line right behind him so he can enjoy the Detroit music also!!!--Thanks---Tee
