I am restoring my 58 Ferguson with the Standard diesel.
So....after sandblasting, priming, sanding, and painting my front rims, I went to get tires and tubes. After researching, I had determined that I needed 6.00X16 3 rib. I get to the tire store and the owner tells me that the rims looked like 15 inch rims. I never thought to measure them! He tells me that those rims require a 7.5L 15 tire.
The rims do look like Fergie rims. Based on the condition of the tractor, it appeared that it was never messed with. I thought everything was original.
My question is: since this is a diesel, are these rims possibly correct?
My TO 30 does have 6.00 x 16 tires on it, so I have the wonderful opportunity to sandblast and paint them if I need to. Not really looking forward to that.
