The biggest concern that I would have is the rim size and the availability of the proper tires. Most, if not all, modern skidsteer tires (R-4 tread pattern) are meant for 16.5" rims. This rim size was popular in North America back in the '70's on 3/4 ton pickup trucks. You may want to check your tire and rim availability before going too far. Also, (I am assuming that you have 8 lug rims) the 8-lug bolt pattern is common between most skidsteer manufacturers, so this opens up your choice if you can find a set of used rims from say a Bobcat or a Thomas machine, etc. HTH.</p></blockquote><p></p>
