Oliver 207 Rake. What Tire Size?

Asked a while back, and never got an answer, so trying again.
Anyone know what correct wheel / tire size was used on these?
Mine has 14" wheels and tires, and I just can't get it high enough to transport without dragging.
I have tons of downward adjustment, and would like to run 15" truck tires, if I can find rims to fit. Just wondering if the 14's are factory correct.
 
If you can find 15" wheels to fit the hubs,yes 15"
tires/wheels will work.But you will have a slower
basket speed with larger diameter tires.I went the
other way...Put smaller 14" tires(instead of the 15)
to speed the basket a little.It worked,does a better
job.
 
I had a Oliver rake and I had no problem like that. What is the height of your drawbar? Mine was a little over 14 inches and I had plenty of room for transport.

I would check the lifting linkage if you can't get it high enough. Should be some adjustment or something is really worn. I have a 307 and have no problem getting it high enough. Think it has 15" tires.
 
No problems with lift linkage, and pulling it with an H or M Farmall, so drawbar height is normal.
It has 195 car tires on it, and it's hard to find anything much taller, w/o buying new ones. Thought it would be easier and cheaper to switch to 15" rims and pickup tires.
Even cranked all the way up, it still drags on a rutted or crowned gravel road. I barely have to lower it, if at all, once in the field.
Thanks guys!
