Mr Tony Jacobs Elenco and 871 questions

Hi,I'm digging into the 871 with Elenco and have a couple of questions.
Does anyone have the correct tire size front and rear. The tires on it ( 14.9x24) are shot and I have a great set of 14.9x28 tires with weights.
After taking sheet metal off and pressure washing all I find is yellow paint. See pics
Tony, If you have any literature for the Elenco please advise and I will purchase.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Pete

Provided the 24" rears were correct, you cannot change to 28" rears without changing the size of the fronts. You must keep the ratio between front and rear wheels correct on a 4WD or FWD .
 
Hello Pete , Call me at my shop 413-267-5087 , Yes I do reprint all of the original literature and sell it . Yes you can change to 14.9x28 rear tires provided you also change the front ones as Larry has said , and no the 14.9x24 tires you have on the rear now are not correct and never were it should have had 16.9x24 tires on it which it probably did when new . Yellow paint could be Light Duty Industrial or Town, State, or Government tractor when new . Looking at the pictures from this and other post your tractor appears to be about a 1961 . Thanks Tony

Tony, Thanks, I will call today. It seems like magic but according to the serial number it is a 1961 !! I realized the tires have to be in sync
but wasn't sure what size front tires I will need. Thanks a lot for your help, Pete
