Any ideas?

I have a rather ages Kubota tractor (my other orange tractor), B8200, that son built from two basket cases. It's a nice tractor, and runs well, but currently, it has back wheels/tires from JGL. A little too big, and hard as rocks, and the tire lugs catch on the mower deck and bent the snot out of it, plus ride up on the tire to the point that it pulls the PTO shaft apart, which the bangs around and beats itself to death, before I can even react to it. Otherwise sorta works They are on it because the only wheels/tires he had for it are rotted out. The original wheels are 13.6 x 6. It seems this model tractor, was an odddball. It is hard to find anything for it salvage wise. the wheels, and the turf tires have proved to be made of unobtanium.
So, I need a similar sized wheel and tire, used, and cheap that I can weld the inside of the current wheels into so it fits on the tractor.

fat finger!
13.6 x 16
the rim itself is about 12 x 16
the tire is roughly 3 ft in diameter

my apologies for the typo

Dave GOOD TIP!
He's looking for an exact match, that failing, he has a set off a Ford is pretty close to the same size that I would need to adapt

would that make it a Kuforda?

I had called half dozen tractor recyclers with no help, most weren't really interested in help, but I think that is because they were more geared with big equipment, despite their adds on the net.
This is pretty cool finding someone specializing in compacts
