I recently found one of those barn finds that you only hear about. It is a 1958 851 powermaster that was driven into the barn in 1987 and hasn't moved. It was a working tractor and therefore not perfectly
preserved but the price was right..free. I am having some difficulty with the rear tires that were completely destroyed from sitting on flats for 30 years. A quick look at Tractor data and we see 12-28 rear
wheels. The problem is it has 16.9-24 on it. The rims are the "old" style shackle mount like my Farmalls. I hate to buy new tires for rims that are not correct just to change later. Does this tire/ wheel
combination sound like something that came from the factory or was it a dealer installed thing?

3x24 and 14x24 were optional
 
Optional from factory or dealer installed. Make sure the rims are good before you buy tires.
 
I like those tractors with 24 inch wheels on the rear. I have a couple tractors with 24 inch rears, one 14.9 and the other with 16.9. I know my 1801 industrial came with 24's.
