Hi
I have a 4020 john deere that I was looking at putting duals on. My grandfather and uncle farmed with this tractor and had some things (implements tires etc.) left that they didn"t sell when they retired that they used with this tractor and others they sold. There are three duals sitting in the barn one is a 16.9x34 which is the same size tire that the 4020 has which was put on when they moldboard plowed. Then there are 2 15.5x38"s that look to also be for the 4020. Is there much tire size difference between 16.9x34 and 15.5x38"s? The reason I say the 38"s look to be for the 4020 is the spacer ring is slide inside the rim and butted against a bevel and welded there so it measures the same diameter as my 16.9x34 dual. Also will it hurt anything to run a different size as duals? the tires on the tractor are new 16.9x34"s and all the duals are fairly worn. Also the only other tractors they had to farm with were a jd 2030 and 4630 and an IH 1466 which would have had completely differnt size tires on them. I have looked at tire size charts and there looks to only be a couple inch difference between the two just lookin for anybody with much experience with type of thing.
Thanks for any help
