I think gene is right with what he says, on the average M, 13.6-38's are big enough, but if your M has a kit in the engine that "soups 'er up" a little, you'll be happier with the 14.9's. And 14.9's will be okay on the later Farmall M rear rims, the two step type, but the earlier type with just the single step in the center are too narrow. All this is assuming you want to use your tractor, if all you're going to do is "play around" and show your tractor the smaller(13.6's) tires are fine and correct for it. Early M's came with 11-38 rear tires, then in about 1945-46 time they started putting 12-38's on them which was a blessing because 11-38's were just too small. Oh-FYI, 12-38's are the same as 13.6-38's in the modern sizing system. Most Super M's came with 13-38's(14.9's today).
