Tires for MF 135 1970 model

[jeflon]

What do I need in order to replace all tires on a 135 model? Serial number puts it at year 1970 9A94037.

Tractor is at my Mother's house 4 hours away and I plan to start repairing it on weekends. In order to maximize my time, I want the tires installed during the week prior to me getting out there. I will be using a local automotive repair service to handle the work.
I just need to know what to order and have delivered.
Tire sizes, Tubes??, etc. last time i was there, i could not read any numbers on the tires. so alll i have is the model and serial.

Ag front: 5.50-16
6.00-16
Ag rear: 12.4/11-28
13.6/12-28
14.9/13-24
Came with three tire options. The most common was 12.4/11-28
you might need to measure the rims and see if they are 24 inch or 28 inch.

By far the most common size tires I have seen on the 135 are 6.00x16 front and 13.6x28 or 14.9x24 on the rear. The diameter is the inside diameter of the tire. The overall diameter of the rim will be slightly more.

I appreciate the information. It looks like a trip to measure the wheels is unavoidable.

I assume these are not tubeless?

also, what is the most affordable source to order from? Ive seen price variations

 

[Bob N.Y.]

A tractor that age most likely has tubes in the tires.

got a photo of the tire.
on the side it has the following text:

14.9 - 24
on 13' rim
4 piy rating 13 - 24

I measuered the diameter (see photo) and its about 26 inches from side to side of the rim. not sure where the 24 or 28 come in.

i assume the 13 is the width of the rim..

You get about 26 inches because you are measuring the outside flange of the rim, not the bead area of the rim. You will be about 24" if you measure between the bead (flat) areas at the inner edge of the flange. The 24" is the ID of the tire bead.

You have 14.9 -24 tube type tires. Those are not rims for tubeless tires.
