| Tires are fine for lawn mowing but won't pull a plow or disc very good. |

Just add tire chains for field work. I plowed and fit ground with turf tires and tire chains. Lots of weight added. |

24.5 tires would be tubeless. Wheels without centers are available that are for the spoked center hubs. ------------- 1970 190XT, 1973 200, 1962 D-19 Diesel, 1979 7010, 1957 WD45, 1950 WD, 1961 D17, Speed Patrol, D14, All crop 66 big bin, 180 diesel, 1970 170 diesel, FP80 forklift. Gleaner A |

Yeah, it might be odd... but hey... if you're using it for a pavement-based tug, it's not bad. now, rotate the axles to lower it, nix the reduction drives, shave the treads, then do same from some space-saver spares up front... put on some swoopy Orchard fenders, big chrome headlamps, and move the exhaust to out the side, it'll look like a Duesenberg... supercharge it and flip the transmission gears, take it to Bonneville... ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.

Truck tires do come in the 24" tube type, not 24.5 tubeless. They are somewhat obsolete nowadays, however in years past many heavy haulers always used them. You could buy 24" turf tires cheaper unless they were giveaways

They do make 24" truck tires. I have some. They would be a pain in the ass to mount on a non break down rim |

| From the photos they used a 24.5 Tubeless Dayton wheel set OVER the B hub and pulled up with home made wedges. |

I bought a B years ago with 22.5 truck tires on it. They just welded tabs to the rims and bolted them fast. Years ago my neighbor bought a JD LA with rotted tires so we took my truck wheels and an assortment of bolts and put them on the LA to bring it home. I still have the wheels on a non running B. ------------- 4 B's, 1 C's,3 CA's, 2 G's WD, D14, D15, B-1, B10, B12, 712S, |

I guess it work with truck rims. Don't think it's safe to try 24.5's on a 24" rim, first time you pull against it would probably spin the tire and tube. I've bought old reacap 22.5's that are too old for over the road use but work fine on farm trucks for $40 - $50 each at auctions. They also have 24.5's and used truck wheels are scrap price or free if they have a worn out tire on them. The tractor just doesn't look right with those tires. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |
