MF 202 wheels and tires

So I think I'm going to buy this MF202, 1965-ish vintage with loader. Runs great, loader was quicker/stronger than I expected. I was pretty sure the 202 was just the "industrial" version of the mf35 with a different, solid front axle, different sheet metal, and front mount pump/ps.

Anyway, the back tires are 100% junk. Judging from the valve stem, I'm guessing that the tube leaked bad at one point and the rim is probably shot. One side you can see where the rim has been patched and welded.

I have an entire wheel set off of an MF35 (11.2x28, I think) tires/rim/center. Will these bolt up to the MF202? I think this tractor had 14.9x24's on the rear...but I can't remember now honestly. He's an hour away and the wheels I have are full of fluid or I'd go find out. Online it looks like the 202 might have a "heavy duty" industrial rear end...so I didn't know about rims/centers matching.

He's willing to deal some because of the tire/rim combination...but I honestly don't want to have to buy new rubber or rims if I can avoid it. I will probably pass on the tractor if I can't find an economical solution to these tires.

Thanks
 
Don't know about the 202 but my 205 has 8 holes on a 8 inch bolt circle and planetary gears in the outer axle, wet disc brakes. if the bolt pattern is the same they should fit. Lots of tractors use that bolt pattern.
 
Thanks Phil! I'll head down to the shop at some point today and take a look at my spare wheel/tire combo. I imagine they are the same, but you never know. Wouldn't be that big of deal if tractor tires weren't so darn expensive.
 
Well with that problem solved I will probably pick up that tractor. It's nice that I will have good tires and chains that I won't have to buy. I imagine the smaller tires will slow it down a bit though.

I like the idea of having another gasser since it will only get started up 4-5 times a month to scoop poo at our yard and it is so much easier/cheaper to work on that Continental than the Oliver Super 88 diesel that I leave parked outside over there now.
