I may be wrong but the offset ft to back looks wrong to me the back looks too small in comparison to ft so I wonder how much bind is in it now if any?

no bind that I've noticed. I've used the 4wd several times already and it's smooth. The man I bought it from said he'd owned it 7 or 8 years and those are the tires that came on it then. He said he used the tractor a lot and never had any problem with the 4wd. I don't like the look of the turf tire so I want to get rid of them and get some AGs.

Try Bryan at West Kentucky Tractor Parts or Anna at Southern Global. I've had good luck with both.
OK, here's what I found. My rear wheels are 8 bolt, instead of the normal 6 bolt. I've looked at a lot of 336d pictures and haven't noticed any that are 8 bolt. I found wheels but all of them are 6 bolt. Looks like I'll just have to keep these turf wheels and put new tires on. Here's my next question. How do I determine the size my front tires need to be. The ones on there now are 28.9.0-14 and seem to work ok but when I looked this size up they show up as airplane tires????????? So I'll probably just buy some new wheels and tires for the front. Who can tell me how to figure out what size tire and wheel I need. The rear are 44x18.00-20.
I have seen similar sized JD tractors and they have 8 bolt wheels. Fact I was looking for wheel weights for my tractor and spent quite a bit of time looking at JD parts etc and that makes me wonder if what you have is JD bolt pattern and wheels???
Also wonder if your hub may still be drilled for 6 bolt and someone just re-drilled it to fit the 8 bolt wheels stranger things have been known to exist!
If so the problem could surely be as simple as calling Abilene machine in Abilene Kansas and see if they had a set of used JD ag wheels for say a 950 or 1050 those are similar Yanmar built machines. hth

When equiped with the "golf course tires" on the rear, Yanmar used 27 x 8.50-15 on the front. (27" is the O.D; 8.50" is the width, and
15" is the wheel diameter).
Yanmar switched from 6 bolt rear hubs to 8 bolt about 1984. I have two YM336Ds; a 1986 and a 1991 and both have 8 bolt.
I can have wheels made for your tractor so you can switch to ag tires.
I will pm you about this.

The 8-bolt pattern means it is a later year 336. Yanmar changed the pattern mid way into the series. Mine is a 1981, so it still has the 6 bolt pattern. Anything after Serial #41770 was 8 lug.
Also, the hubs are removable, which means you can simply swap the hubs between the different rims. The same hubs are used on the ag rim as the turf rim, so moving between the two will be easy(ish).
Sorry i didn't post this earlier. It just occurred to me about the removable hubs.

Do you mean the wheel center or axle hub? Because thats what I took the other guy to mean that he can make wheels to fit his centers..

Yanmar calls the center of the rim itself a hub. That is the part I'm referring to. The part which bolts to the outer ring of the rim and also bolts to the axle.

That's what I kinda gathered just wanted to follow the terminology thats being used. I learned to never go past a word thats misunderstood the whole conversation or lesson is lost at that point. 
In reality Yanmar calls the hub a hub on the end of the axle the part thats on the axle that has the bolts. And they call the center the wheel (thats where I am off track) and the outer part with the tire is called a rim now granted thats my 336 manual its been know to be off here and there.
