AG-600-2.  Sorry about that....  I'm too used to cutting off prefixes.

OC 12.8, OA 9.4, FRX 15.9.  As I recall, the rubber tires on the rewind 
hubs were ST 3.63, but were about a 16th thinner than OEM.  Keep your 
originals if you can.

Note that if you have a 601 you might want to put a rubber belt in place of 
the fabric one they used.  Has to be slightly longer than the AG600, as I 
recall, but you can estimate it with the PRB belt measurer and subtract 10% 
or so.
