Only if I was in the tire business and could sell you a new one.
Now if your tractor has the early version anti-lock brake system, then the wheel sensors don"t like odd sized tires. It causes the computer to set off codes on the older system.
The newer system can compensate for a worn tire on one side or the other.
Now seeing as how your tractor might not be equipped with an anti-lock brake system. The only problem I suspect you might encounter is leaning to one side when your walking. This is due to leaning in the seat, if you get too much seat time on your machine.
If you desire to even out the rotations in the rear end to compensate in the future, you can swap your tires from left to right side from time to time.
-------------------------------------------------
You might also be aware that if you make any turns with your tractor, the rear end will automatically spin one wheel faster that tne other while turning. This is in fact a natural action and no abnormal problems will be encountered. Thusly a shorter tire will have no problems. Other than listed above. . .

Do not remove this tag under penalty of Law.

Make sure the smaller circumference tire is on the same side as the back pocket you keep your wallet in and you should be fine and level. :lol:
