Buddy of mine has been doing this on an Oliver 1855 for 4 or so years now, radials on the tractor, bias on the duals. The only reason he wasn't to worried about it was that the tires were mediocre at best when he got the tractor so he is just running them till they are shot and going all new radials next year. One trip won't hurt but here's what happens in the long run. Since the radials want to squat the height of the tire will change. With the bias plies they don't squat as hard so even with a lower air pressure, on a hard surface where they don't sink, the bias tires will actually hold up on the radials and carry more weight. The result is that the duals and mains start fighting each other and depending on which one has more grip, one set of tires or both sets will scuff more and your road ware goes to heck. They do the same thing in the field, since the radials squat harder and have more footprint they are always fighting against the bias tires. Another side affect in both cases is increased fuel consumption. All that aside though, like I said, for one trip you won't notice much.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
