Sorry folks, I posted this in the other forum by mistake and meant to post it here. I apologize if you have to see it twice.

Hi there all. I just bought an IH 656 gas for $3000. 3 pt Hitch. 540 PTO. Tin is straight, paint is good, rear rubber is 50% right side, 100% left side, and the other 50% rear came with the tractor. It was only changed because the tube was bad and the owner didn"t want to change just the tube. I was thinking maybe I should change the one side over to the original 50% tire and save the new one for when it"s time to change both. Tractor runs 100%, TA is good, 1 small drip from the seal between the trans and the TA from the vent hole. Seat is new & even the lights all work. Front end is tight & as new. My question is, I think I did ok, but I"ve been a green guy for a long time. I more or less bought it because I could use another tractor and it seemed like a pretty good deal to me. What do you all think?

I would think about how much I needed traction and spring for a match to the new tire. The new tire stuck inside will still age and gas out synthetis materials getting hard etc. What about selling both 50%ers to someone and using the net gain for a partial on a new tire. JimN

Hi Jim. Here's another thought. Buy another new tire for the 656 as you suggested, but rather than sell off the used tires, I do have another old red tractor. It's an "H". I only used it to pull the spreader until the side wall of one tire let go and the tube pushed through. I parked it in the shed and it's been there for a year or so now. What do ya think the "H" would look like with the 15.5 38's on it rather than the 12.4's? Any idea on what I can do to find rims for the "H" that will hold the 15.5's?
