ATIS General Tractor Discussion / 1948 Empire tractor

Completed fabricating a foot throttle today for the Empire. Since I don't have a governor for the engine the foot throttle is needed to maintain engine speed when the load varies.
Took it out for a test drive on our country lane.
Don't know how fast I got it up to, but the rear tires were obviously unbalanced at high speed and limited me from going any faster.
I haven't checked yet, but I'm hoping that there is water in the rear tires and that is causing the unbalanced feel.
