I'm amazed by the response my tire price question created.
Before I continue, I want to thank everyone for their time and efforts. I can't believe some of you actually went on line and researched this, or spoke to Walmart. I'm hoping I can return the favor one of these days.
The pricing question was one thing, but some of your responses concerning tire size raised another issue for me that I'm hoping to get some feedback on.
I bought my 8N back in 2000 for $150. Needless to say, it needed some TLC. I rebuilt it from the ground up. Since that time its seen a lot of use. Generally its been used to drag large trees out of the woods for firewood, haul rocks, grading, etc. etc. Heavy work, but not farming.
One thing I never dealt with before now were the rear tires. It came with well worn 13.6-28 tires. Since there wasn't much tread, I always ran it with chains. Unfortunately, one of the wheels finally gave out. I then bought two new rims, and since the tires it had were 13.6-28, I bought rims (12-28) for this size tire. I just never questioned the size. Based on some of the comments about 13.6-28 tires being too large, I'm questioning if I'm now stuck with rims that are too big. I'm thinking that the 13s never really gave me a problem, so new ones should work, but then my old tires never had much tread and so aren't the same diameter as new ones will be. Can/shoud I put a smaller tire size on these 12" rims?
