JD 1020 - what is the correct tire pressure?

[Figato]

1967 I believe.
Typical Ag tire setup.
Yes, I looked at the sidewall - no pressure listing or it wore off

Thanks!

Most Ag tires run between 8 to 20 psi. The never exceed pressure is usually about 25psi. Do you know what brand of tire they are.

Did you look on the backside of the tires.

Tire pressure isnt a carved in stone pressure. It all depends on the tool being used in relation to tractive issues. Do a google for tractor tire slippage for in depth reading on the matter.

I did look at the back, but might have missed it.

Tractor is at my hunting land, so I'll have to come back with tire brand.

What sizes are front and rear?
Are rear 4 or 6 ply?

I second this for the rear tire. The rears should be best traction at 8-10 PSI. I dont think a 1020 would have the capcity to carry anything large enough to require more than about 12 PSI. Depending on the size front tires they could be anywhere from 30-40 PSI. There should be a maximum inflation pressure on them somewhere. It will be pretty small writing but should still be legible. I have never seen one that was worn off as there just isnt any wear on the side walls.
