Tires

I need to replace the rear tires on my 1954 JD A. It has 11 X 38 tires on it now. Could be the original ones. What size would you suggest? I do use the tractor to disk, etc.

I put 13.6/38 on my '48 A. I like them on there.

I would do 13.6 on an A

FYI 11 x 38 old size is the 12.4 x 38 new size.

Your 11x38 tires would be equivelent to the current 12.4-38 size. Same size tire but the way they are measured changed. But, I'd agree with Old Popper that the 13.6-38 tire would look better on a late model A and they would mount fine on your current rims.

What size rear tire would you install on a JD 70?

I put 15.5-38 on my 70

Go with the 13.6. FIL put 14.9s on ours before he passed on and they're really more tire than it needs.

You know your going to get different answers, if you have 12" rims I'd install 13.6
if the tractor 10" rims I'd go with 12.4. My A has 10" rims & I put 13.6 on, I think
they are too big. But the Price was right,, Since you claim you have a 1954 which would
be the only 1954 A on record I would keep it original.

Nice plow! I had the MT72 on my MT and although I like the snowblower I use now I sure miss putting along on the MT!
