Hi guys,
I have my 1930 Farmall Regular that I am finishing restoration on and I am trying to figure out what size tires to order for the rear rims I have. I have a F&H rim for it that was on the tractor when I got it, and am getting a matching rim as the other rim was unuseable.
The rear rim is a 38 inch rim and is 9 inches wide. My question is what is the biggest width tire I can put on that rim?
I would like to try to get a decent size tire on it (12.4 or 13.6) but don't want to get tires that are way to big for the rims. I have heard of someone who put 14.9's on those rims but that seems way too big for only a 9 inch rim.
It currently has 16.5 tires (I think) on cutoff rims on the back that are borrowed from a friend and they work without any interference.
Also, would I have to put a larger tire on the front rim to reduce the slant of the tractor? It has 16 inch tires on the front but I have heard of 17 inch tires being used so it does not slant forward so much.

The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
