It seams that a lot of people get things mixed up thinking a 11 and a 11.25 tire are the same not realizing the difference in the way of measuring. Now converting them up to the new sizing the 11 becomes a 12.4 while the 11.25 becomes the 14.9 and the 11.25 was orignally used on a rim perhaps only 2/3 as wide as the tire from the factory and they think because the new way of doing things is the sidewall should be straight but that is not the way these old tractors were designed. That 11.25 size was measured by the cross section HEIGHT of the tire while the new 14.9 will be measured on the cross section WIDTH of the tire on a rim with the sidewalls straight and as they do not know anybetter because they are too young to have ever seen the orignal tires they do not think things look right because they do not know what the orignal looked like. Me I do remember those old size tires and unless the beads are pulled in they do not look right.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
