Hi everyone! We just purchased a very well used LS170 with 6500+ hrs on it from our workplace. Yes it is rough but it all works despite it's looks. The way we look at it is it's better than the shovel and wheelbarrow we have been using. It's approximately a 2000 model and we are the second owners. It does need a few things but what do you expect for $1500. It's ugly but everything does work surprisingly well. The biggest issue is it came equipped with worn smooth hard rubber tires and we want to replace them with a regular 10-16.5 tire set. Lots of these available as sets new and used in our area for real good prices. Are the rim and bolt patterns pretty much universal between the makes? Will the standard "8 bolt" wheel fit my machine? Will have a few more questions as we get into this machine but this is the most pressing issue at the moment. Thanks! Jeff
