I am thinking of replacing the tired old tires on the tractor my grandfather built so long ago. I'm not sure where he got them, but the rears are Goodyears and say "Military" on them. I'm guessing from some old jeep. I have no idea what the fronts are or what the make is. It was hard to even make out a size.
Here are the sizes for the tires:
Rear: 7.00-16
Front: 179N-39
Well, those were what we could decipher off the old things. I hope they are right. For the rears I would probably want R1's (but might consider R4's) beeing it is only 2WD. What is on there now is some bald tires with chains. Those have been on there for as long as I can remember.
For the fronts I would want something that "matches" the rears (i.e. how the front wheels normally look on 2WD tractors). Hope that made some sense. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
