</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Now I feel bad because I didn’t pay attention that you wanted turf tires /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif. So I’ll continue the quest for traction type tires for you. KennyV.

Kenny:
I'm just grateful that you took the time to respond. Pete's Tire barn said they can special order a Carlisle tire for me. I checked with a local farm tire place though and they told me the tire Pete's listed was a ribbed tire. I can always use the car tires, however, I figure a regular car tire won't be nearly as tough as a six ply tractor tire. It likely won't make a difference if I'm mostly mowing though I guess.

Unfortunately, I don't have the Ag rims. I have the turf rims which the Kubota dealer tells me are a different size and not interchangeable. Thus my problem. I have found tires in my size but they are rib tires not turf tires.

I imagine if I couldn't buy a car tire to fit it, I would have to switch rims. I would rather not waste any more money than I have to. I still haven't figured out what the gear ratio on my tractor is. Without that, I can't change tire sizes or rim sizes without some amount of guessing what the lead/lag is. I e-mailed Kubota requesting the information but so far I've gotten no response.

I also just purchased a L245DT. I am also restoring it. I have bridgestone farm service tires on the back size 13.6-16 it's a turf tire. In the front it looks like they are regular car tires. P195-75R14. My rear rim has a rust spot. I think the tires have calcium chloride in them. It seeps from the rust spot. I plan on welding it but if i need to i would replace it and the ballast also. From your entry it looks like i have to wrong size tires on the front at least. I am going to investigate further aslo.Any suggestions on where to get the right tire and rim info? Do the rims have a part # on them,I havent seen one yet.
