What is the model number, could it be a 5110 or 531? I worked on a Golf course that had Ford tractors our two mowing tractors were a 2110 and 231. Both LCG (low center of gravity) Seems other than tires, gear ratios and the front axle they were some kind of Ford 3000 series tractors. I was responsible for updating the 2110 by purchasing new rims and tires to go to the wider higher flotation tire, that was a bolt on swap out. The other possibility is it could be a regular utility tractor. Back to your question I could take the rear tires off of our Ford 3000 with the mounted hydro-gang mower and bolt them onto the 231 or 2110 however the tractor would slope 15-20 degree to the front because the LCG tractor had different front axle that caused the front of the tractor to be 15-20 inches lower than the row crop 3000. I think they used about the same size front tire. We also had a 2000 LCG with an industrial loader, the LCG front end wasn't heavy enough for the loader. I guess what I'm saying is post a model number, if it's a LCG I wouldn't recommend putting a loader on it and if you really want to put bigger tires on it you'll probably want/need to change the front end out or at least the axle ends and spindles. If it's a regular utility tractor you have more tire combinations you can use without changing axles and it'll probably do okay with a loader.
