I have rotted tires on my AC WD. I have no idea where to look. Right now, the rears are the most important. The manual lists the size as 11" or 12" by 28". New or used doesn't matter to me. If anybody has any tires in the MN area, e-mail me @ [email protected].

Thanks

Mustang man if you can wait about 4-6 weeks tire dealers will have all farm tires on sale, they usually do this every spring & fall.Bbut drive or haul your tractor to tire store you will save A LOT OF MONEY in service calls. They charge you out the wazzu to come to you and do any service work .When I worked at a store the new tube was 55.00 the service call was85.00. Cheaper to take to store.

On my WD I went with (new)14.9 x 28 heavy lug six ply tires with the best new tubes I could get. I used fluid ballist (maximum density) for maximum weight "in the tires". I went with 6.00 x16 6 ply three rib on the front. When the tire dealer asked why I wanted such large rear 6 ply tires in a WD, I responded that I did not think anything wider would fit the rims properly or would fit under the finders and that I did not think 8 or 10 ply tires were readily available. The original (4 ply) tires failed after only thirty four years. The "new" tires have been on the tractor about 20 years and still look like new and have never had a flat. These tires do not slip or spin much. The rear tires will not wear near as fast if they do not spin much. I have a WC that some one put 13 x 28 (new size designation is 14.8 x 28) tires on in 1943. Cut one up real bad last year and had to replace it. I really felt bad since they had lots of tread left. One old one is still on that tractor. I recommend that you go large and with as many plies as you can. One or two tire repairs of a smaller,lighter tire will cost more then the additional cost to go larger and with more plies. If you only "show" your tractor, use it only for parades, or just want to keep it "original as it was sold" then the original size is probably what you want. Just my approach (I would do the same thing again.)

Mustang Man;

The tire size designation has changed from the WD manual days! You'll want '12"' tires, which today are 13.6x28s. Goodyear makes an industrial tire with straight cleats that is fairly original looking. If you aren't interested in originality, any tractor tire dealer can get you 13.6x28s, with tubes to match.The fronts are 5.50x16s which you can also get anywhere.
