I was looking for the same tire earlier this summer, and I couldn't find anything used anywhere. The local Firestone dealer quoted me $975 installed but couldn"t tell me how long it would take them to find one. I didn't need it immediately, but I didn't want to have to wait a month like it took them to find a set of tires for my pickup. The same Firestone dealer had replaced my other rear tire 16 years ago for less than $500. So I decided to go with another tire place 25 miles away, for $650 installed.
They came to my place while I was at work and installed the new tire. When I got home, I found the new tire was labeled "13.6/12 x 38" and it's noticeably narrower than the other Firestone tire, which was labeled 13.6 x 38. I haven't measured the difference, but it sure looks like the new tire is closer to 12 inches wide than 13.6.
So I guess I got what I paid for---less money, but less tire too. I only use the tractor for mowing in the summer and pushing snow in the winter, so it"s not a big deal to me. It might make a difference if I was trying to plow or do other heavy pulling, I don't know.

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
