I don"t know how it worked where you are from, but in my area when we were farming the tractor could not afford to have the engine fail because of lack of proper attention. Things happen but for the most part lack of proper care was not the problem. We traded work with neighboring farmers and not one of them, which was the same at home, started a tractor in the morning without checking the oil, and water first. The same happened at dinner time. We and they parked the tractor at the fuel tank at dinner time(close to noon) and the oil and water was looked at before fueling. Same happened after supper if we went back out to the field, and we did a lot in the spring. I can"t remember dad ever running mismatched tires on the rear but some of our neighbors did. Dad always called and had a tire with a hole punched vulcanized. Back then what you would call a credit card now would ether squeal or moo. The machinery dealer of tire repair man would expect payment when you sold hogs or out of your milk check. They didn"t want to wait until a crop was harvested to be paid. Thus when you busted a tire that was half gone and was beyond repair you would buy what ever used tire you could find to get back to work. This has nothing to do with how you cared for the upkeep of you tractor. If you were to buy a brand new tire of the same brand and size as one half gone it would be mismatched as to height
