In an effort to curtail global warming our government has made energy more expensive also in an effort to make America more fair anyone making any money is having it taken from them to give to people that don't have money. Tires require energy and labor so these changes make them more expensive. That in the fact that most tires are made overseas and the value of a dollar is falling in the world market will make Americans wanting to buy tires pay even more
To give you a solution- you'll need to research scrounge and hunt for what's available. The tire size you listed is not what was on the MT I knew as a kid so they were available with different size tires or yours has been changed to a different size. Why is this important? Because someone may of had a similar problem with your very tractor and changed the tires to something they found on the cheap. Find out what axle size or bolt pattern your tractor has and find out what other tractors use the same, they are now potential donors for your tractor. Also look at other agricultural equipment like sprayers, combines swatters and such.
Find any local agricultural salvage (junk yards) centers and ask them what they have. Stop and talk to the old guy that has 42 tractors in his yard, he probably won't be willing to sell anything but he might know where he'd get one on the cheap and share that contact with you. Keep an eye on E-Bay and Craig's list, not only for tires but equipment that uses similar sized tires. You might be trading labor for money- buy a tractor or combine use the tires and use/sell the other parts. Ask around and network, ask any and all tire dealers in your area and in your travels, might find someone with a new or used tire in the back room that has been there way to long and they might be willing to sell it to you at an old cost.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
