I'm restoring a CASE semi-mount moldboard plow. The gauge wheel is 14", and I want to ditch the car tire for an implement tire. Only thing I can find is a 7.50-14, but my rim is only 5" wide. Is there anything else made a little smaller? I would change the rim but it's a 4 bolt and we don't have any others around the farm.

I found an 8.5Lx14 implement tire for a plow a couple years ago. It is Samson brand. I had to have it special ordered. It fit fine on a 5 inch rim. Also, some of the inch sized tires like you have found actually use a rim about 2 inches narrower than the tire size.
Many farmers used worn car tires anyway and I've seen car tires listed and illustrated in some older implement manuals. How about a nice vintage whitewall or an orange stripe? I think the 8.5L will be more economical today and might even be cheaper than the 7.50x14 implement tire.

firestone has a decent tire search site that also displays recommended rim widths

When our feild cultivator (Glencoe, older than me) needed tires, it was like your plow. 14" rims, 4 bolt. No room to go to a 15" rim. We put on 14" trailer tires and they've been pretty good so far. 1 went flat last year, but I think something hit the stem.
Was about a wash between that and an implement tire, but I know the tire shop could have gotten something other than a 7.50-14.

Unless you special ordered machinery with new (specified) implement tires the dealers always put on used car or truck tires, new implement tires do not look correct on restored implements to this oldtimer. and that 7:50 is probably what would have been on it if ordered from dealer with a new tire.
