Nawlens: As I said I have 12.4x24 rear on both my 130 and 140. The 130 has 6.00x16 on front and the 140 actually has 5.50x16. 16" rims are no longer availabe for the cast hub as on a 130. I made up my own using a 4.4x16 blank rim, welded a 1/2x1-1/2 ring inside the rim, which make it fit snug over cast center. I then welded to that ring three 1/2x1-1/2 for bolting rim to cast hub.

The 16" rims for a 140 are available from Miller Tire in Ohio. You simply ask them for 4.5x16, 6 hole, 6" bolt circle, +1-1/8" offset. It's on page 18 of their 2006 catalogue. I don't have their 2007 catalogue yet.

On my tractors, 130 if you place a level on the platform with 12.4x24 rear and 6.00x16 front, it sets perfectly level. The level will also be very close on hood between gas tank and rad. The 140 with 12.4x24 rear and 5.50x16 front is about 1/8" low on front in length of level. Bear in mind also, my 140 rears are new, 130 rears are probably 60%. Both set of front tires are new. The 5.50x16 actually look better. The 6.00x16 seem too big for that size tractor, although I like them very much for plowing snow. They roll over frozen ridges much easier. When I had 15" up front, plowing snow, I was forever pushing too far, snow falling over blade, then I get that little tire in a frozen hole, and then couldn't back away. Off to the shop I'd go, get 140 to tow 130 out. I have not had that happen in 3 winters with those 16" wheels up front.
