I have a D-14 with 14.9-26 tires on it. What's a good air pressure to run in them?
Thanks in advance.

  The owners manual should tell how air pressure you need in the rear tires for any given load or condition.

If your tire pressure is too low you risk side wall cracking, especially with older tires.  If the tire pressure is too high the tire will bounce while on the road, giving you a rough ride, and not put down much of a footprint when in the field, thus cutting down your traction.  18 pounds in the rears and 30 pounds in the front is a good place to start.     As already noted, always check your owner's manual.

Phil. I spent 22 years in the farm tire business. I Put on many semi loads of farm rears. If I put those tires on your tractor I would have put 14 lbs in them. Do they have fluid in them? If so do you have a fluid gauge? You probably know all this, about the time your tractor was made, the people making inner tubes designed a new valve stem. The new style has male threads. The old style has female threads. If you have fluid in your tires, it is a good idea to figure out which style you have and keep a couple new ones around. It seems over the years calcium will destroy the valve cores and it can be a real pain to change the valve core. Most of the time it is easier to change the cote housing than the valve stem. They do make stainless steel valve cores to use with fluid. If the core is bad I guarentee it will leak when you check the air pressure. Sorry about the long post.

I run 14 psi in my D14s with 14.9 - 26s. In this case the owners manual doesn't tell that size. When those manuals were printed the tire options are shown as 11.00 - 26 (12 psi) or 12.00 - 26 (14 psi), the old size designation system. According to Miller's site the 12.00 is now called 13.6.

Thank you everyone.   I had 12# in them and one went flat. The tire shop I took it to to repair it put 20# in it and said that's what I should run. I don't have an owners manual so I wanted your expert advice.   I haven't owned this long.
Thanks, Phil.

If you are not running weights you do not need the higher pressure. The owners manual has the tire pressure for the amount of weight carried. 20 lbs. will made a bumpy ride.

12 psi in the rear, and 28 in the fronts is what the books call for.  If you are running a heavy fully mounted piece of equipment they recommend adding 2 psi making it 14 psi.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.
