Hi All,
This is my first post. I'm just beginning to restore my wife's grandfather's 1950 Massey-Harris 22 GR (switched to propane when new, however). It will be a slow learning process as I find time.
My question here involves front tires. It's probably a simple question, but I searched around and didn't find much. When I got it, it had flat 5.00-15 three-rib tires. I acquired an owner's manual, which states that the Row Crop version (which I guess I have based on the "GR") should have 4.00-15 on the front. Also a few websites confirm this. What size are others using? Is there a good reason for me to stick with 5.00-15 tires like it had or should I follow my intuition and put the original size back on?
Also, I'm happy to get any advice you have on tire brands and such.
