1209 mower conditioner question

[Alan K]

A neighbor has a 1209 mower conditioner I was looking to buy. It has been sitting a while and one of the tires is bad. Is there any rim and tire assembly that will work on it or one that will work to at least get it home? It looks like a project, of which I'm not sure yet lol.
Are they a 26 x 12.00 - 12 tire?

Was also wondering what the weight is on a 1209

I have a 1207, book says it's 2400. They use a 15" 4-bolt wheel.

Don't think I have seen a 4 lug wheel on a 1209. The OP could try something like 7.60 X 15 tire/6 lug rim to see if it will fit. A fair number of older small disks, field cultivators, and corn planters used that combination.

According 1209 parts catalog it had 4 bolt wheel/hub up to SN 285,000 & 6 bolt after that serial number. https://partscatalog.deere.com/jdrc/sidebyside/equipment/6827/referrer/navigation/pgId/2633750

If you decide to get it and need the spring teeth I have some.

If 4 lug then try a 6.70 X 15 wheel or 7.60 X 15 wheel from a 4 lug small disk, field cultivator, or corn planter.

I was curious as to how Ottumwa product serial numbers were derived. Seems like forage harvesters, M-C's, balers, etc. worked off of a common number system.
