My old 26x10 Mudweisers went on a friends 300 and it pulled them fine.

I bet some 26x10 front and 26x12 Mudbugs would be awesome on a 300.

My bike can still pop a wheelie so I'm assuming that my motor is fine for now

Mine lifts the front wheels about an inch, it won't wheelie on power alone, I have to pull up and drop down in the seat.

Mine was only used for hunting so it was never ridden hard. I would say it's definitely a torquey 300 still gonna only do 26 inch tires so I can keep some of that power.

Hearing all this talk of running 25" & 26" tyres is making me think that my motor is well due a top end rebuild (I'm due to do that anyway) sooner rather than later. I can't spin 2nd at all wether it's in really water swampy bogs or the thick clay mud holes. Compared to some of the tyres you guys run I'd call mine a semi aggressive mud tyre.
I'm also thinking I may have gone to wide, currently running 10" in width front and rear, maybe 8's or 9's would have been more beneficial.

One sure way to find out, do a compression test. More compression = bigger bang = more POWER !!:laugh:

Haven't seen the compression tester for ages though, not a clue where it is. The diesel one's not going to go low enough to be accurate.

...to give you an idea of what it cost over here as I know you are over the pond , I am just finishing up rebuilding my 300 engine , started it up last night and its sounding good , just picked up a new air filter on the way home , and I should be able to ride it tomorrow , cost of parts right under $500 , rebored jug , piston , wrist pin and clips , gaskets , timing chain , gasket set , seals , oil and filter , spark plug , air filter , reworked the head

Compression tester was in the garage I believe dad, I'm sure I only ever used the diesel tester so not 100% sure. It doesn't feel as lively as your 300 though and does have a slight tap/tick, nothing to be overly concerned about though.

I'm slowly gathering the parts to do a top end rebuild fish, dropped lucky with an OEM gasket set for £12 off eBay. Have to spend a little each week you see so the Mrs doesn't go crazy at me haha!

Hey guys I was wondering what's the biggest/most aggressive tires I can run on my 95 4x4 with out doing a gear reduction, I'm also thinking about doing the 2 inch lift. I don't want todo a gear reduction because I do a lot of riding on shell roads but I also go through some thick mud and I do not want to loose to much of my top end speed. Thanks

I have a 300 fourtrax and I’m running 28” Mud Zillas and I turn them with no issues
