Tire size for John Deere B

Tim Shanks · Jun 2, 2008

On one tire I have a Firestone tire that says 12-38.

On the other tire, it is a Gillette 13.??-38 "replaces 12-38"

The tractor isn't at my home right now, so I stopped by the location where it is sitting at, and I swore it said 13.5-38. But when I talked to my in-laws this morning, he said it should have said 13.6-38.

Without making another trip past the tractor... Can anyone give me an idea if it should be saying 13.5 or 13.6???

Thanks
Tim

It should be 13.6.

That may indeed be what's on it, but that'd be a lot of tire for a B!

The later John Deere B normally left the factory with 10 X 38 rear tires or new size would be 11.2 X 38 on a 10 inch rim width. Some of the late model Bs came with 11 X 38 new size 12.4 X 38 on a 11 inch rim width. This did not include the BWs that came with 42 inch rear rubber. Ellis

Well, I do recall seeing the Gillette tire saying that it fits on a 12in rim.
