As long as you're not going through any real tight overhead areas and you have a modest amount of clearance against the frame I don't see why you will have any problem with the size change. That's only 1" on the height which is not a big deal.... As far as this debate about odd sizes... I'm sorry... but if you run a skid any amount of time and place any value on a dollar... you will at some point run odd sizes, mixed sets, half worn tires, ETC. The difference it will make to the machine is so close to non-existent that it's not worth thinking about. Some machines will wear tires fairly evenly. Some will scuff the fronts off if they're doina a particular chore continously. Others will spin the rears off faster because they do a lot of pushing and hte fronts are in the air more than they're on the ground. More often than not my machine will scuff it's fronts off but I have at times seen it tear the back ones down quickly... I just don't see the point of getting all bent out of shape over it. I keep a spare wheel here most times and throw that on when I get a flat... so it's obviously not the best tire in the fleet. It may not be mounted in the right direction for the side it's on... It may not even be the same profile/aspect ratio as the others that are on the machine. I've never seen ~any~ adverse wear on the drive chains as a result... and this machine has had EVERY chance to destroy chains prematurely. Just throw a set on it and don't worry about it.

For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
