i was wondering about using the small temporary tires found in cars on the front of wd45 for pulllin. i would get the benifit of less weight in those tirse plus the advantage of them being smaller in diameter. having them being smaller in diameter would set the front lower making the front harder to raise.. would i be right in this thinking? would these tires fit? thanks in advance

if farming was easy everybody would be doing it

Totaly a matter of opinion and im sure everbody has there own theroy. With the front end lower it makes your drawbar head up hill instead of level. My opinion is I would rather have drawbar level. Heading uphill makes ur center of pull on drawbar lower than the actual hook point. And with drawbar heading uphill seems to pull front end faster. there for looseing hook height sooner. Where as a leverl drawbar u actualy start with a higher center point on the drawbar. Totaly my opinion im sure this debate can go on forever.

Smaller tires on the front will help you in pulling. The lower the front end is that much farther it has to pull your front end up. I havent seen any car tire that will bolt up due to the size of the center hub, however a 5 lug farmall ( i know its like cussin to metion that name here) cub rim will fit they usually run 4.00-12 tires. They are quite a bit shorter than the 5.50-16s your tractor came with
