| What is the largest tire combination that can go on a Model B with the factory wheels? I want the tractor to still sit level. Does anyone have pictures of bigger tires on their tractor? |

I got a great deal on some 14.9-24's so thats what my B got. Though someone modified the front rims on my B and the front has 5.50-16s. It leans a tad bit to the front I would look better if the B had 10 inch rims instead of 9 inch.
I have seen other B's with 12.4-24s though that looked good. Probably need 5.00-15s on the front to help it look right.

12.4 X24 are what mine has. I think the look correct and slightly bigger than OEM.
The bigger 14.9's do require a bigger front tire to level things out. ------------- Washingtonian by choice, Wisconsin Farmboy by the grace of God! |

12.4's look OK in my opinion. Anything smaller just don't look right. 13.6's might be fine???? I might lean toward what was available at a decent price. My Dad put 13-24's (same as 14.9's now days) on the CA right after he tried discing plowed ground the first time(circa 1952). They were on there till one blew out on me about 10 years ago. They fit the furrow while plowing with the 2-14 pin hitch and they held a good bit of fluid for extra ballast.
